We know from stats on this that over 90% of obesity is not because of medical problems like a thyroid issue, etc. Over 90% of them are because they eat too much and dont burn off enough calories.

And regardless, the airlines dont need to make such a distinction, its irrelevant. Its purely a policy that says you can’t take up the space of another passenger based on whatever size seat you are flying in, and if you would, you need to pay for a seat that accomodates you without you interfering with and taking up other passengers personal space.

Its like luggage. The airline doesnt ask why your suitcase is so big, if it exceeds certain size limits, its stowed in the hold, and not allowed as a carry-on.

As I said, I agree with you. I’d add that they mostly IMO eat the wrong foods, which leads to them eating too much.

But I bet employers somewhere have already been forced to give them accommodations at work.

Try mandating that shipping companies operate on a flat rate basis and see what chaos looks like.

I’m fat because I am an Awesomeness-Magnet.

Awesomeness gravitates towards me, and becomes part of me, right around the waistline.

I've watched several episodes of *My 600 LB Life* and that is VERY true.

Not one person on that show ever had a true medical condition.
