Maybe I am just feeling petulant, but that is a really unrealistic and even sexist formulation. Lance Armstrong may manage on 2% body fat, but normal men are higher than that, and normal women are higher still.
So I would call the job market "insufficiently anorexic" and I could give a long list of what gets neglected, but that still would not put me in a position of hiring rather than wanting to be hired.
