New Zealand Expelling Obese Immigrant

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-23475583

The long and short is that a man is being denied a renewal of his work visa due to weighing 286 pounds. The immigration minister states it is important for immigrants to stay healthy so they do put a drain on the healthcare system. I always thought New Zealand was a good place to live too.
