Can you lose your job if you don’t quite eat right? Yes, apparently. A former employee of Rachael Ray’s talk show alleges that he was discriminated against for taking fat out of his diet and is suing the CBS network for $1 million.

Aaron Ferguson is an accountant who has been suffering from anorexia for over six years now. According to papers filed in Manhattan’s state Supreme Court, Ferguson says his supervisor repeatedly exhibited “hostile behavior” and made “vile,” discriminatory and hurtful comments, including, “Anorexics are sick in the head,” and, “Anorexics should not be able to work.” He complained about his supervisor many times, but Ferguson says he was forced out of his job. He had worked there from July to October 2007.

Rachael Ray has not been named in the lawsuit, thus far.
