+1.
Also, why punish the employer for their employee being fat? The government can protect society by forcing the fat person to pay more into the healthcare system, and possibly reducing their access to health care. There is no compelling cause for restricting someone's right to make lifestyle choices when the public can be adeuately protected by other means.
