Fat people work less Now, this is just a personal observation, but all of the fat people I've known take way more sick days off work than people of a normal weight. The younger fat people didn't do this as much, they were just slower at work, but the older fat people probably took about 3 or 4 days off every month. Both of my parents work, and I think the most they've done was take off one day at work per month, maximum - even then it was to take a relative to a hospital appointment or something similar, not because they themselves felt ill. When I've asked the older fat people why they take multiple days off, they always say they're tired. And this right here is the reason fat people are less likely to be hired - if it's not some condition or illness that they have to take care of, it's just that they're fatigued from lugging around 200lbs+ of body weight.
