Not literally, no. But there have been multiple studies done which show that when hiring, interviewers do tend to be biased against obese people. A lack od discipline about one's body shows a lack of apparent discipline in other areas. And there are a lot of jobs, good ones, where you have to be fit - policeman, fireman, jet pilot, soldier...

The way to live is: all things in moderation. We need a little of everything to sustain us, and some more of certain things than others. But everything in moderation. I might drink a bit too much, or smoke a bit too much, but I try to live by moderation as best I can.
