Oh god, that's disgusting. :(

Also, as a fat person, you can bet I'm not going to travel to New Zealand and give them my tourist dollars, if that's the way they treat people like me.

After six years of having no issue with this man's weight, NZ doesn't get to tote out anything questioning his health now - especially given that he weights considerably less now.

Discrimination, plain and simple.

Well, fuck you, New Zealand. I find it hard to believe that denying the visas of overweight migrants is going to do anything to stem the tide of obesity and related complications in the country. What do they plan to do with overweight citizens? Kick them out too? SMH.

Welcome the new and caring face of the conservative National government.
