I don't mean to point you out but this is exactly what I mean by comparing this to smokers. That is the heart of the arguement that the employers have used to justify firing smokers.
It's total bullshit. We need to allow people to live their own lives. If that means smoking 2 packs a day and weighing 400 lbs that is a person's choice. All the employer should be looking at is how the person performs his job duties.
