calling yourself 'disabled' because you are morbidly obese is like calling yourself blind because you won't open your eyes.
If someone has a legitimate disability, they shouldn't be discriminated against. However, that doesn't mean you have to hire them if they can't do the job (like a quadraplegic lifeguard).
I don't think people want to associate their lunch with a 400+ pound person serving it. It just seems to say 'this food will make you look like me.' I wouldn't hire him for a job in fast food either. Although, I would have no objections for a desk job.
