Check out this Forbes article(Forbes.com: Watching The Corporate Waistline), a rather fat article.

Companies are trying to slim down their workers, to slim down their health care costs. Good Luck....

"So far we've proven that we can't fight obesity in this country," says Dr. Dee Edington, director of the health management research center at the University of Michigan, who evaluates corporate health programs. "We keep setting weight-loss goals and we keep getting fatter and fatter." He recommends that companies offer small financial incentives, up to $200 per year, to increase participation in wellness programs.

Companies can't get too aggressive about slimming down their employees, as they might be accused of discrimination. "The issue of obesity has potential for employee discrimination in the workplace," says Judith Stern, vice president of The American Obesity Association, which defends the rights of obese Americans. Stern says corporations should make it easier for obese employees to lose weight by stressing education about health issues related to weight. She would like to see more food labeling in corporate cafeterias and more top executives participating in weight-management programs, to set a good example.
