Today's headline:

'Colorado poised to ban 'fatphobia' in workplace, housing'

'America’s thinnest state, Colorado, is expected to join a growing list of states to ban "fatphobia" discrimination against those who are overweight.

The law aims to prevent landlords from discriminating against renters due to weight limits and to implement workplace accommodations for overweight Americans.

The move comes as New York recently passed a similar law as obesity rates continue to soar across the U.S.

Other states, including Massachusetts, Vermont and New Jersey are also looking at passing similar bills.

Michigan was the first state to ban weight-based discrimination.

The bill, passed in Michigan in 1976, also forbids discrimination on the basis of age and height."

HEIGHT??? or shortness??

Do you discriminate based on weight? Goodness! MANY of my folks would not pass!

There's nothing to learn or any special diet you need in order to lose weight. If you consume more calories than you burn you will gain weight.

Ozempic proves this. It slows the rate of digestion so people don't eat as much because they feel full longer. So people on these medications eat less and lose weight. Wow. Guess what? You don't need an expensive medication to do this. --172.58.x.xxx

I find it absolutely hilarious in New York's role in this. They passed a fat discrimination law, but just a decade ago, they banned convenience stores from selling pop (or soda if you don't live in hickville like me) in cups bigger than so many ounces. The reason for this was to try and control people's weight! I absolutely laughed my rear off when I heard this. Oh the irony!!

The only weight concerns I can envision are fiberglass tubs flexing and toilets wobbling under EXTREME body weight.

BTW Lowes sells a 28" wide body toilet and seat. It also has a large footprint on the floor.

Just remembered - a wide bodied resident broke some handrail brackets and pulled some out of the wall when she leaned hard to climb stairs. We know make sure the END of each handrail is fully supported.

I DO know some of our 100+ year old homes need extra floor supports.

The basic problem is the amount of sugar in products along with consumption of soft drinks along with other drinks high in sugar level. Once the sugar is reduced than sucrose levels drop along with apatite level drops. Some people also do not exercise which contributes to over weight problems as well. One time went into apartment where had to do major repairs to toilet where the person was on the couch watching tv then time. Three hours doing nothing. Later learned that person passed away. --207.236.xxx.xxx

I can understand employers who provide health ins not wanting bring in an unhealthy person who will drive up their rates.

My heart weeps for young people who are already overweight in high school. I cannot imagine how big they will be as they gain adult weight with age.

I sold school furniture for 16 years. Kids now would not fit into the high school desks or cafeteria bench tables.

NE that's because if they are too large to move then they figured out that they can and will depend on the state to "take care of them" if you know what I mean.

It's just like the conversation a few years back that the restaurants in NYC were trying to go cashless but the politicians immediately started saying that it was discriminatory because poor people don't have cards (credit/debit) and now... wham... the Ps no longer want cash around because they don't know who has it and they want to control that too. --69.201.xx.xxx

Compared to EU there is less salt and sugar in foods. For example take Mac fries which have 20 ingredients where in the EU there is cooking oil, potatoes and salt. If go to supermarket then buy a frozen pizza from Germany or Italy there is a lower level of salt. It is unbelievable how much sugar there is from coffee shops that have a assortment of drinks with very high sugar levels along other products have high salt levels. While higher salt levels have a longer shelf life. Now before buying products look at the salt and sugar levels. Taking medication did not resolve the problem of high blood pressure or high sucrose levels. Before went for private medical procedure all the medical records along with was required to take a ECG. Found when sugar level was reduced less appetite as well where was never was over weight. So in the end diet along with exercise would reduce the problem of over weight along less strokes. --207.236.xxx.xxx

Ouch on the tubs. I had not considered that. I have a long term tenant that is wanting to move to a different house. She is large and admits it will just get worse. Current place has a cast iron tub. The new place has a fiberglass tub I installed maybe a decade ago. I do not remember if I put a bed of mortar under it.

Have had tenants put holes in fiberglass tubs before. No patching for me, just replacement. One lady put a kitchen chair in the tub so she could shave her legs. Metal leg on the chair popped a hole straight thru. They didn't tell me about it. Used duct tape to try and keep it dry. After they were gone the neighbor told me the story. --107.147.xx.xxx

There has been damage I can report here. Pair of female tenants wanted the shower doors removed as they couldn't fit into the tub anymore. I paid the handyman to do it and he did a good job, put up a regular shower curtain with pole anchored to wall. Cost me about $200 for parts and time. A week later I get a call that they would like the curved rod instead as the shower curtains were sticking to their bodies and they needed more space. Well besides water on the floor, their fatness is not my problem. I made a change for them and I told them the shower curtain is sticking because they are overweight and that is not my problem. They lost weight. The other is my $600 front storm door on one of the duplexes. Big fat son of tenant can't fit out with the chain in place above that protects the door from swinging back to far in the wind. So when he goes out to smoke whatever he smokes he removes it. Problem is he fogot to put it back. Wind took the door and smashed it into the $80 locking mailbox and popped the hinges a bit so it can't close properly and meet the lock parts on the other side. Paid the handmade to move lock parts. Didn't work so I bought new lock and did it myself. Worked for awhile but no longer. I guess I will be replacing that door this spring. --173.61.xxx.xxx

Allym, simple solution is to get rid of the storm door, at the tenant's cost because they broke it.

I prefer not to have storm door's. I still have a few but I do not warrant them. --107.147.xx.xxx
