This would make it an act of discrimination for an employer to refuse employment for a person that is qualified for a position but is overweight, misshaped. It is already against the law to discriminate against height, sex, age, creed, sexual orientation, religious views and disabilities. But being overweight is not. In most cases being overweight is not a choice but rather than a disability, disease, or psychological problem. An employer should not be allowed to refuse employment because a person is overweight, but can perform the job needed.
