It's probably a requirement for the companies group health insurance. The last company I worked for gave 'discount' to employees that were tobacco free. Then the next renewal it was a discount for 'normal cholesterol'. The the next year they tried normal BMI and all the obese womyn in HR raised hell and got it stopped.
It's all fun and games until someone has to lose weight
I worked at a place like this. Thu did tests once a year for it and they did a pin prick of blood for glucose reading. 2 days prior my brothers dog chomped through a finger of mine, told her not to use that finger. So she grabbed it and hit the button quick like, then he fat bitch told me my heart rate was too high and to work out more. Made her cry calling her a fat bitch infront of everyone
Extra credit for making corporate lackey cry in public. A++
"Normal cholesterol" is such a funny thing. My grandfather and his brother both had high cholesterol. My grandfather was autistic about avoiding fat and anything high in cholesterol while his brother ate steak and eggs every day along with whatever else he wanted.
Both died in their 90's.
My grandmother died this year. She was 99. Always skinny as a rail, ate a good healthy diet, and had uber-high cholesterol according to her doctor(s). She was on cholesterol medication for almost as long as it was available. Never did a thing.
That's a good run
The the next year they tried normal BMI and all the obese womyn in HR raised hell and got it stopped.
