Should obese people be required to buy two seats when flying?

I've lucked out lately but being a 6'4" guy around 200 lbs, getting stuck next to a fatty is a truly miserable experience for me. I have a hard enough time jamming myself into some of those airline seats as it is. Getting stuck next to someone who can't lay off the fucking doughnuts and lasagna only makes it worse.

I may sound mean but it's how I feel. Some people are overweight for legitimate reasons; unfortunately, that's only a small portion of the fat bastards on this planet. The rest are that way because of their own doing. After spending a decade and a half in southern California and recently moving back to the Midwest, my tolerance for fat people is at an all-time low. Yesterday, I came out of a grocery store and saw a 5' tall 12 year old girl who probably weighed as much, if not more, than me. Ridiculous.

I still don't understand how many people let themselves get like that in the first place! I mean once you notice that you are gaining a lot of wieght why on earth would you just continue to put on more? Ugh, annoys me.

I believe it's kinda like a bell curve... the more you get fat... the more your metabolism slows, making it easier and easier to get fat and harder and harder to get skinny until you get to a certain point of very fat.

 

So it takes a REALLY serious effort to get out of being fat.

Also being smrt ad stopping to eat when people ae no longer hungry, not when they are full, let's anyone eat whatever they want without getting fat. Seriously, try it.

There is no excuse if someone wants to stuff themseves full every tiem they eat, they bring it on themselves. Everything has consequences, I don't see why being fat shouldn't carry any.
