Fed up with fat and saying something about it

The L.A. Times reports:

Slim society's tolerance is wearing thin.

As more people over the last decade have tipped the scales toward obesity, normal weight folks have signed up for employee wellness programs that offer them lower premiums and other financial perks as a reward for their healthy weight -- and that indirectly penalize heavier workers. They've crafted policies, most unsuccessful, to compel individuals to lose weight. They've become vocal, sometimes vehemently so, in their support for "sin taxes" on junk food and soda. And they've increasingly attacked, with words or actions, the overweight and obese.
