NYC Mayor passes a law preventing the discrimination of people with obesity. Often people with obesity face unfair stigma, bias and outright ridicule.

How do you discriminate against the obese?

We live in the "please don't hurt me" era
If this was the 90's, oh lord, deadass nikkas would get cooked like a beef patty outchea for passing this law

America had a obesity problem for decades. A far more reasonable approach would to promote proactive exercises nationwide like Taebo did in the 90's.

Facts...

Years ago I had a mother bring her son into my gym begging me to train him...Son was 5'9 260...My first response was no because he didn't come to me asking for help and I run a boxing gym, not a weight loss clinic...She not the one who needs to put in the work to lose that weight, he does...We had a little talk and I ended up taking him in under my wing...He was warned I will not take it easy on him...First day I asked him to do two sets of 10 pushups, light bag work and jog half a mile...I didn't care about form, told him he can do the pushups on his knees...For him this was still a lot, son barely made it through 5 pushups before he started bytching and said I quit...He was about to walk out the gym, I said ok fatboy, got loud and just started lacing him with fat jokes...Had everybody in the gym staring at him and laughing...He was so heated, I legit thought son was gon try something stupid and throw a weight at me...To my surprise he got back down and persevered through those pushups...

About 2 months later through hard work and dedication he was down to 190...To this day both him and his mother thank me for saving his life...Sometimes you need to shame somebody to spark that fire in them to do better...

70lbs in 2 months is possible? What all you have him doing?

Many of you voted for this man. I want to remind you all of that.

ehh,

as bad as he is, a law like this was brewing for a long time. This was never going to last and never should have lasted. If the job isn't based on physical activity, there's no point in fat discrimination.

49 States Legally Allow Employers to Discriminate Based on Weight

Only Michigan has a law on the books

This is brewing right now (2023) in Texas also.

Workplace Obesity Bias Targeted in Texas Top Court, State Bills

A case pending before the Texas Supreme Court could make the Lone Star State the latest to guarantee discrimination protections for workers who are obese under state and federal disability law, giving the justices the chance to weigh in on an increasingly relevant workplace issue.

70lbs in 2 months is possible? What all you have him doing?

Very strict diet...

Completely eliminated wheat/bread and sugar from his diet...All he was allowed to drink was water...Eating wise, eggs, chicken, turkey and goat, rice, broccoli, carrots...He'd spend an hour a day 6 days a week in the gym with me boxing, cardio and calisthenics...

Son really put that work in though...At the end of the first month I only wanted him to do 2.5 mile runs but he was running 3.5 on his own...He was also lifting weights on the side...
