So would that make their job opportunity a slim chance or a fat chance?

Maybe they were afraid she would fall on one of the children.

When a toddler opens the gate and starts walking toward the street, would you want a 500lbs hog that could NOT, under any circumstances, sprint to avert disaster, or would you want someone who is more agile? Hell, a 70 year old retiree would be faster.
Also, as an employer, you better discuss it with your insurance because morbidly obese have LOTS of underlying medical issues, and will probably die or severely injure themselves (or a child) on their watch.

Slim and none. And slim has left the building.

People who are very overweight are ticking time bombs vis a vie a health care and disability and workers comp costs.
Ditto for smokers, I have not hired a smoker in perhaps 2 decades.
It is a perfectly rational approach to screen out candidates for these issues.

Owens, who was 525 pounds at 511 at the time of her interview with the daycare center....
....1/4 ton of fat isn't "overweight" and not even "obese"....she is super morbidly obese. A danger to herself and the daycare.

I’ve seen how overweight (or should I chance it and just say ‘fat’?) people eat. No one really needs to eat that much food. All they have to do is cut down.

If women keep it up with “he looked at me” being sexual harassment, the title of this article will have to be changed to “only 2 percent of hiring managers would consider hiring a woman”.
To: sparklite2
Couldn't she work from home?

Describing 525 pounds as overweight is a lie by omission.

I could see her ignoring the 300 pound warning bell, but what about 400? 500?
To: sparklite2
shes lost out on other career opportunities (such as jobs in retail that would have required prolonged periods of standing), And a job at a daycare wouldn't require prolonged periods of standing?
Not to mention the extraordinary healthcare costs the company would have with a 525 lb. employee.

Overweight is one thing, but the woman in the article is 525 pounds!
To: sparklite2
Actually the females I have worked with as middle and upper level managers are prone to weight indicating their ability to manage.
Females who have had children and careers, are chunky overweight or just big, are usually very good managers.
Skinny females who have never had children re horrible managers but insist on explaining their greatness every fay.
