I'm posting this in the religion category because I think this is about anti-fat Christianity.

At least BYU doesn't kick students out of school for being fat. Oral Roberts does:

"A few years ago the news media poked fun at Oral Roberts University when a fat student charged the school with discrimination against obesity. ORU took seriously their aim at improving the whole person: the body, mind, spirit. Overweight students faced suspension unless they adhered to a prescribed diet. Students had to shape up or ship out."

What irony that in one of the fattest states in the nation, a Christian university would expel or suspend fat kids.
