Democratic Mayor Eric Adams<\/a>\u00a0has banned weight discrimination in New York City, which critics say has lawyers licking their chops.<\/p>\n

Adams signed a controversial bill Friday outlawing discrimination based on a person’s weight and height in employment, housing and public accommodations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I’m a person that believes in health, so when you talk about not discriminating against someone because of their body type, it’s not fighting against obesity; it’s just being fair,” Adams said.<\/p>\n

“So I think this is the right thing to do,” he continued. “We’re going to continue to talk about our progressive health agenda. Science has shown body type is not a connection to if you’re healthy or unhealthy, and I think that’s a misnomer we are really dispelling.”<\/p>\n

The city’s Commission on Human Rights will investigate weight and height complaints, adding to its more than two dozen other areas of examinations, including race, gender and age.<\/p>\n

Critics, meanwhile, have taken aim at the bill, saying it will lead to a field day for lawyers and a barrage of lawsuits.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Republican New York City<\/a>\u00a0Council minority leader Joseph Borelli said that the law could open the floodgates for people to “sue anyone and everything.”<\/p>\n

‘I’m overweight, but I’m not a victim,” Borelli said, according to Daily Mail. “No one should feel bad for me except my struggling shirt buttons.”<\/p>\n

The New York Post’s editorial board called the bill a “fat gift to NYC’s bottom-feeding legal sharks.”<\/p>\n

The law is part of a spreading trend in the United States. The\u00a0New York Times<\/a>\u00a0reported that New Jersey and Massachusetts lawmakers are considering similar measures, while other places like Michigan, Washington State and Washington, D.C., already prohibit it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Health justice” has also become a woke agenda item in universities across the country, as progressive academics have moved to eliminate “fatphobia,” or the cultural stigmatization of obesity, including scrapping the word “obesity” itself,\u00a0Fox News Digital<\/a>\u00a0previously reported.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
