The problem with what some of you have been saying is the fact that it makes you sound ignorant. Not every person who is "fat" is that way because of overeating. Yes i am fat, but i can still fit in the seats with the armrests down, but even though i am overweight when i am on a plane i still get looks from people like "can they sit here without spilling into my seat?". It is written all over thier face. My husband who is slender is more uncomfortable in the seats than i am because he wants to be able to shift in his seat and he cannot. I am fat because yes I enjoy food.. but the food i enjoy is fruits and veggies, and no i dont have diabetes like everyone thinks. My doctor says that i am a healthy fat person. I have fibromyalgia that makes it hard for me to exersize without a lot of pain. Even sitting in a chair for a prolonged period causes pain. So before you judge all fat people and say to put down the fork, use your brain and realize not all of us fat people are that way from just overeating.
