I disagree. I would be willing to bet money that obese people ARE offered lesser salaries. I don't know from experience, but it seems from some of the posts on here that overweight people are absolutely treated like second class citizens. Of course, it's not the same as race, but I think that there can be discrimination against overweight people.
