I come from a family where my father and mother are both overweight. This is something they have fought both of their lives. Neither one has ever been "average" size, and it didn't come from being lazy or eating wrong. They don't "pour" into other seats.
Neither one of them fly, but if they did, it would probably be pretty embarrassing for them to have to pay for two seats. But how does the airlines draw the line where a person has to buy two seats? I think that they wouldn't agree with this rule, and I don't either.
As expensive as it is to fly, I think the airlines should just provide extra seating which is more comfortable. Hell, should the guy that is too tall have to pay for the seat in front of him because his knee is poking the other guy in the back? Hell no.
If the airline companys wern't so greedy, they would accomodate people with an obesity problem, as well as any other disability.
Obesity a disability? Maybe..in fact...yes.
Drug addiction a disabilty? HELL NO.
Most people are out for the "What's best for me is the only way." Those people need to get their head out of their *** and realize there are different types and kinds of people in this world, and there is no excuse for prejudicity(if thats a word.)
