Thanks to a European Court of Justice judgement, obesity can now be considered a disability. http://ift.tt/1zb2aQK
So, I guess we can take it that the ECJ no longer believes in personal responsibility and if that an employee chooses to be so grossly obese he/sha cannot fulfill their paid function, the employer must pay for it!
Homer Simpson, as I live & breathe.
You so want this to be a 1 April headline, but alas, the only hope is that every employer bands together, appeals the ruling and puts pressure on the entire EU to get rid of this kind of insane thinking.
And here was me laughing last year when some grossly fat disability commissioner in ZN cried that extreme fatness should be a disability.
Way to slap people with real disabilities right in their faces. Born with spina bifida? Hard luck, now you have to share resources with fat [/insert pejorative*]. Club foot driver? Sorry, the last disabled spot has been taken by a 500 lb behemoth.
*people can be as fat or thin as they like and I really don't care, but making it someone else's problem is insane.
