I should point out that I wasn't advocating a particular course of action. I was merely observing that a case could be made. If there's been an amicable resolution, that's cool with me. Obesity and obese individuals, though are a group that almost all of society not only feels entitled to discriminate against, it's actively done.

We're currently running studies in the Social Psychology dept at Purdue on this very issue, and are finding that most people view obesity as a moral issue, regardless of cause (Medical, behavioral, or whatever). They assume it's the obese individuals fault, and punish them for it.
