I am doing research on the current health crisis in America, I have looked everywhere for valuable insight into what it might be like for someone who is considered overweight or obese. I am a member of ivillage and enjoy using the boards as a resource personally. I am writing a term paper, in my paper I would really like to give voice to women who feel that they have been discriminated against because of their weight. Under any circumstances, socially, work-related, educationally, economically or any other areas where discrimation could be found. Any responses will be kept confidential, I only intend to use the content to support my idea that there is a lot of discrimination against overweight people. Just as there are laws to protect from discrimation if you are a woman or a minority I support legislation to ensure that people that are overweight cannot be discriminated against either, and if they are legal action should be taken against the people who have commited the crime. Thank you to anyone who responds.
