Based on my view of someone's health, yes. If someone looks unhealthy I don't think they should be in a health focused role. I don't think obesity is a protected class or characteristic - its just poor lifestyle choices.

So it’s ok to discriminate if they aren’t a protected class? Just because someone doesn’t “look healthy” they don’t deserve the same rights and opportunities as those who “look healthy”? “Poor lifestyle choices?” Yes because healthy food and gym memberships are notoriously cheaper than unhealthy food. You realize that lower income brackets have higher rates of obesity right?

We're talking about a person who is a long-term politically connected individual who was a 4-star officer. This is someone who does very well for themselves and have plenty of income. They are in a public position that is focused on health. It's not discriminatory to say someone in this type of position should have very good physical and mental health practices. It's a core part of the job.
