      I got very lucky flying this year, always ended up next to an empty seat or even an entire empty row. Until the last flight. Middle seat between two very American sized women who were partially spilling over into my seat.

      Thank god it was just a 30 mins flight.

        This actually makes a lot of sense. It shouldn't be about fat shaming, but you cant ignore reality and you should make rules based on it. People with normal weight shouldn't be punished.

            It's not about how much weight the plane carries so much as flight attendants doing overhead lifting and the risk of one falling out of the overhead locker. Source, I'm on the internet and you read it

              Obesity is a curable disease that people are self responsible for. Drug addicts are shamed and no one cares. Even peoples height (which they have zero control over) is shamed and no one bats an eye. Im not saying you should be rude to overweight people, but there are ridiculous double standards.

                  counterpoint, fat shaming exists and is just as prevalent (probably more so) than heigh shaming. Another note: The countries with the highest amount of obesity are also the countries with the least amount of regulation and taxes on food processing. Just the same how the countries with the highest rates of drug problems are the ones who don't focus on rehabilitation and prevention as much as criminalization.

                    They are, because they are allowed to bring less total weight onto the plane. (71kg vs 124kg)

                      I don't shame addicts or small or large people either. I only shame those, who find it funny to shame others.

                        Look, most people know that eating 50 burgers isn't healthy, so stop putting the blame on others.

                            Another point I want to make is that body positivity is evil. Telling obese people they are healthy and should feel good about it should be a crime. Are these body positivity people going to cheer on someones first diabetic amputation?

                              Nope, they're allowed to bring as much luggage weight as the others. Total weight doesn't matter in that regard. Just like how small people are allowed to bring the same as tall people.

                                You genuinely think that a majority of obese people are obese because they eat large amounts of food at a time, and not due to the large amounts of trans-fats, sodium and corn syrup used in processed foods? Sounds to me like you've never been poor honestly. Never been in a country where natural food is expensive and hard to come by. Consider yourself blessed and keep being ignorant if you so please.

                                  No need to get emotional and personal. I would love to see a source on how vegetables are more expensive than junk food and I'll gladly change my mind.

                                        It's for the safety of the people handling the luggage, not for the weight of the plane

                                          I never said it made it okay. What you are doing is straw man rhetoric, a manipulative strategy to discredit someone.

                                          Sowas muss doch nicht sein.
