A lot of mean comments on here about people who are overweight.

These people are not happy with their weight. Many of them cannot lose weight for one reason or another,

The reason the seats on the airlines are narrow are because the airlines pack us in like sardines so they can get more people on the plane and make more money. It’s not about ‘we like you, you are a nice size and we respect you for that’ kind of thing. The airlines are trying to run a business and jamming us in a plane and neglecting needs of people over a certain size is what they do, it’s easier to figure.

I don’t have the answer but these overweight people are being disrespected by many and it’s not right. I’m sure there are oneswho make these comments consider yourselves Christians, though.

It’s an addiction, like to addictive drugs, to pornography, to gambling. It’s not easy to kick any addiction.

But in this scenario, it does cause problems for fellow passengers. The seating on commercial airplanes is too narrow for almost any adult.
