Putting the call out to all bodybuilders.

Australia Post has begun recruiting for more posties to deliver the snail mail. There is one caveat, the new recruits have to weigh less than 90kg.

This has outraged a lot of groups, unions, media groups, the general whiners, as this means that people with a "little extra padding around the middle"* would be ineligible. This is not to mention the current workers who would also be too heavy.

So what’s the big deal, the fatties are too big for the posty bikes, end of story. Too bad if you are tall or heavily built, you just can't get bigger bikes, as the union suggested, as that is the maximum size allowed on the footpath.

The problem claimed is that this is discrimination against people who are overweight/obese. They went on to claim that obesity is a disease, a disability, something that can't be helped.

You know my stand here, you choose to be fat, there is no disability or disease involved. But with obesity rates ever increasing, it is likely we will start to see being overweight as a disability.

Now this is discrimination that the bodybuilding world can take to their advantage. The average BBer is already overweight according to the society gold standard, the BMI (Body Mass Index). All we would have to do is bulk up to a BMI of 30+ (25 the cut-off for overweight) and presto, we are disabled. With this horrendous disability we would now be able to go on a disability pension (3/4 pay) and do nothing but train all day.

So join me now in supporting the BMI and the "obesity is a disability" push from the masses, we could end up the most lean, fit and strong disability pensioners ever.
