The layout of this site is very professional and neat. I was immediately drawn to the weight bias at Yale University. The graphs, charts, and statistics given in this report are appalling, but i can't say that i am surprised. I see weight bias on a weekly basis, so it makes me angry when people say "oh we are all past that" it is the same thing with racism, it still occurs everyday. You would think that people who are highly educated would be more sensitive to the "isms" but it seems that is not the case.



Forty three percent of overweight people report that they have experienced weight bias from employers and supervisors :(
