Sorry, but you're too fat to live here

The British Telegraph dug out an amusing story about a couple and their troubles emigrating to the Kiwis. Way to go, I'm also strictly for less free flight luggage for people with a vastly greater BMI than mine [1].

Quite intruiging are the misconceptions by the couple's doctor.

My doctor laughed at me. He said he’d never seen anything more ridiculous in his whole life. He said not every overweight person is unhealthy or unfit.

What? Every overweight person is unhealthy - fullstop [2].
