you have not suffered anything until you fly to s america. they load those planes up so good, i dont know how they get off the ground. and the smell? i dare anyone to try it.
Do a price comparison at the store, outside of the veggie isle. The cheaper a food is usually means the worse it is for you. I'm not saying its an excuse, but price shopping alone on a budget is one of the hardest ways to stay fit unless you are a vegan.
I have flown to Mexico City under much the same conditions...lol. Does that count? It was a horrid experience.
I wonder how they'll weigh her testimony? Hopefully they treat the suit with sufficient gravity....
It is expensive to eat a healthy diet. Recently, I took stock of my cheapskate ways-make cheap meals because I'm tying to save money-lots of pasta and casseroles. I decided to spend more on groceries because my kids were looking a little pudgy-more fruit and vegies, leaner cuts of meat and a a YTNCA membership is helping us to lose weight and be healthier in general. It costs money to buy healthy food-the poor eat a high carb an a high fat diet.

Eliminate food stamps and stamp out the problem.
Looking at the grocery baskets of the lard asses paying for them with food stamps tells me they are buying and gorging on fat food the rest of can't afford.
Is that a picture of the plaintiff or an airplane?

I sat next to a huge person once. She was so big she took up all of her seat and more than half of mine. I was squeezed into the lap of the person at the window. Her body completely filled the seat area up to the seat in front of her and puffed out on top. Neither she nor I could have gotten our tray tables down, nor was the people in front of us able to recline. The plane was completely full, so there was no where else I could go. She was wheeled on and off the plane because she was too big to walk. I had to wait until the plane was empty, a wheelchair was brought out to get her and she was wheeled off before I could get move. It was a nightmare. Fortunately for me I did not have a connecting flight. Yes, I think that someone that large should buy two seats.
I think they should buy three seats. I have had to sit next to a FAT person on several flights and it is not something that one should be made to do it is punishment. Having to sit on the edge of my seat for 3 hours was not fun.
People are fat because of their personal actions and should not be allowed to fly unless they do not cause others pain and suffering.
Oh the irony. Coming on the heels of Coretta Scott Kings funeral, where we heard songs of praise for her fight for equality....comes this cow who's too fat to fit in a seat, and starts screaming racism. Disgusting.
ok, you experienced the lite version. from wherever in the usa, mexico is at most five hours? yes? try going to argentina with a plane load of cackling illegals who think the plane stays aloft with magic. its torture, i can imagine the only worse thing would be to fly around africa as their safety record is beyond abysmal.
The closest I got was a flight to San Juan, PR. That was enough for me. I fly a lot and I could tell during takeoff the plane was really heavy and I have been on many cattle cars in my day, that flight was the worst.
So she's fat because she's black?
Actually some black and brown skinned people have a propensity to obesity.
And, she probably had BO to boot!
maybe the un will do something worthwhile, have global classes on how to behave while flying?
Here's an easy solution. Do you know those little racks that you have to put your hand carried luggage in to see if it will fit in the overhead. Well, just make another one that says, "If your ass does not fit here, you must buy another seat." There, no surprises.

Not race, lady. Fat a$$ - yes! Race, NO!!
