Are fat people discriminated against? Do they miss out on jobs and ministry opportunities because of their weight? If you had to choose between exact replicas of the same church - yet one church had a fat pastor and the other a stud muffin, would you choose the stud muffin solely based upon the other guy's obesity problem?

Are fat people paid less?

Yes they are, I work for an upper class golf resort, and they do not hire overweight people. In fact they go as far to tell the photography who take pictures for special events to cut out overweight people who may attend . Nor do they like to rent out units to people who are overweight, due to the stress they put on furnishings.
