Shame on Whole Foods
How disappointing.
Whole Foods just offered employees a new incentive program attempting to reward employees for good health and subsequently cut health care costs. For employees who do not smoke, have lower blood pressure, and lower BMI Whole Foods will offer a 30% discount as opposed to the 20% discount employees typically receive.
What’s wrong with this picture?????
A lower BMI DOES NOT EQUATE WITH HEALTH. There is no indicator that a lower BMI means better health. People should not be rewarded (or punished) for being a certain size. Furthermore, this employee incentive program falsely pushes propaganda that discriminates against a healthy size and colludes with discrimination against those who are overweight.
