Carleton University removed weight scales from gyms because the devices were “triggering” corpulent coeds...or so say school officials.
Carleton claims it's all “in keeping with current fitness and social trends."
Manager of wellness, Bruce Marshall says the scales remind people they are fat and leads to a “negative impact” on health.
Student Marko Miljusevic disagrees, “We shouldn’t remove something because some people abuse it, if they can’t handle the number that shows up on the scale then don’t step on it.”
Which part of a "fitness trend" is hiding from the truth?
