No, apparently it's ok to ask things of smokers, but not anyone who is overweight.  It's ok to lecture people who are too thin about ruining their health and having perverse priorities, but not people who are too fat.  And I'm not talking about anyone who is less than ideal.  I'm not talking about making unrealistic demands on people.  No, question people who make the personal choice to spend of hours in front of the tv mindlessly eating crap, and you are discriminating against them.  I've no doubt they really are discriminated against, by prospective employers, etc.  But asking people to accept responsibility for the consequences of their actions?  That's not discrimination.  I make the personal choice to smoke occasionally.  As a result, I'm singled out for tax, I'm banned from entering anywhere but my home while doing it, and scowled at by passersby.  And I'm ok with that.  But if it were a bag of Cheetos in my hand and not a cigarette, I'd be off scott free.  I'd get two seats for the price of one.

wtf?
