My thoughts exactly. We are so concerned about political correctness, that we tend to oversee a lot of stuff. If i manage a company and most of my employees are overweight and smoke, is a no brainer that sooner or later, i will have to face a lot of health problems within the company that will make it less productive.
A few weeks ago i took a flight to Miami and had the very bad luck of been seated next to this 350+ pounds man, the guy was covering all his seat and literally seated on half mine, he even had raised the arm rester (if that's what it's called) because he didn't fit his seat. The plane was packed, so i had to carry his weight for 2 and a half hours. If you ask me, that guy shoulded pay 2 seats or i shoulded pay half, which brings me again to the main topic. If my employees are overweight there is a good chance that i will have to pay more to get them to travel and do their jobs.
