Fattest Professions

I often wonder if certain jobs attract overweight people or create overweight people.
TEACHERS. Having worked in the profession for 20 years AND having lost 200lbs myself, I have seen (and been one of_f) MANY overweight teachers. I don't know if the stresses of the job cause eating in excess or the lack of physical exertion (it is more mental and spiritual), but there are many heavy teachers.
