| Ail said: I'm fine with that but then charge obese people in relation to their weight.. Why should I pay the same price as someone weighing 100 pounds more than I for a plane ticket where clearly it costs more to fly them than me ? ( if my luggage is two pounds over the limit I get charged more but that 300 pounds dude pays the same price ?)
Anyway the real issue is healthcare and the fact that it costs more to keep an obese population healthy ( there's a reason the US has some of the highest healthcare costs on earth) and if nothing gets done at some point in the future private health insurances will charge you based on your diet.. |
Americans don't have a federal healthcare system. Well they do now, but it's very primitive. However for places like Canada and europe, this is a big point.
Also I agree with you, although it's kinda cruel, lol. I really really hate when people take up 2 seats on the subway, why don't they pay double fare?
Also to add to the reasons you mentioned, keeping people alive not only cost money, but has environment consequences. The amount of food an obese person eats is a lot more then a regular person, and food comes from somewhere. Generally big people eat a lot of red meat, and red meat has a larger carbon/energy cost on the world, since you have to feed and give water to the livestock before you eat it.
But naming reasons like this is a bit cruel.
