That weight discrimination already happens here in the states, but not on a large scale; no pun intended.

I am a bit under 5’. My doctor has me down as obese, and I raised hell. She told me that according to the charts, anyone with a 30 or over on a BMI must be marked as “obese” even if they are short and have a large frame (big bones). The shorter you are the more discriminating is the BMI.I would have to be the size of a stick or small boned to be normal. This is something I can’t help. We have a right to eat too, and we get just as hungry as everyone else :(.
