She writes that company health and fitness programs marginalize people with larger bodies and those with eating disorders and disabilities. According to Bernyk, “fat is not a reliable indicator of health” and that using BMI as a means of assessing health incorrectly labels people as unhealthy..Bernyk suggests companies consider plus-sized employees when when putting together their diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

Soon the thin will be in the minority lol
