Abstract

According to WHO, more people die from obesity than malnutrition in the contemporary world (1). Obesity is one of the leading causes of hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer (2). Also excessive body weight significantly lowers self-es-teem and quality of life in the sense of social belonging. Recent research has demonstrated that in the United States, where obesity poses a significant problem, weight-based discrimination has risen by 66% in the past decade, and is now as prevalent as racial discrimination (3). Overweight people are discriminated and victimized in many different settings. They face contempt, verbal or physical abuse and social repression, becoming subject to isolation, neglect, ridicule and gossip (4). The workplace is one of many areas of life where overweight people are unfairly treated (5).
