This post is a bit late. In one 2301 class we had a great discussion on whether discrimination against the obese violated the equal protection clause. I promised some posts on this - see below. This could be a good short answer topic later this semester.
- Bias, Discrimination, and Obescity.
- Obescity Action Coalition.
- Obesity Discrimination.
- Obesity and Weight Discrimination in the Retail Workplace.
- Fat chance: It's not easy for obese workers.
