Default Study refutes myth of obese in the workplace

Interesting info about stereotypes in hiring and firing the obese.

Studies refute myths of obese in the workplace | Science Blog

It seems sad that studies had to be done to refute the notion that obese individuals are lazy, not conscientious, and unsocial. But even studies like these won't stop people from judging employees and potential employees on their weight.

You're right, Nita. It's a shame that people can't just "know" that stereotypes are always wrong.
