"My seat belt wasn’t long enough to fasten, and a fellow passenger's visceral reaction added to my discomfort."

And what about the discomfort of the passengers sitting next to you? Many morbidly obese people seem to have the opinion that whatever space they fill is theirs, even if you paid for it. If you can't fit between the arm rests, you should buy 2 seats.

There is overweight then there is FAT. If the govt is regulating our lives, why not regulate what people over a certain weight can purchase to eat. Just like they should be recriminalizing drug possession, usage and living without means of support. Build housing, put them all in there with the mentally ill, and lock them up until they are will. Lose weight, quit drugs and drink, support yourself and LOSE WEIGHT.

And the fatsos cannot be seated in the emergency exit rows for the obvious reasons-THEY WON’T FIT THRU THE EXIT DOOR!

My first boss at Nike, of all places, was a 500lb woman. She was nice but she could barely waddle to the bathroom. I’d go into her cube and there were lots of candy bars and empty wrappers - and she was diabetic. She finally left - fell down one time too many.

Yesterday I learned she that after years on dialysis she is near death from kidney and heart problems, not eating, and no longer fat. Doctors say there is nothing more they can do for her.

Fancy that - no longer eating and no longer fat. Too bad she waited so long.

She needs to go to planet Mountain Dew, and all her dreams will come true.

If you are that fat, you are dreadfully unhealthy. Don’t look at the travel experience, carriers and other people as the problem. YOU are the problem. Fix yourself, for your own sake if for no one else’s.

It's not all doom and gloom. There's always a silver lining.

No she lives in a world built for normal sized people and she’s an abnormal size.

Society has an anti-fat bias.

Actually, it is biology that has a fat-bias, and society is just being efficient.

Besides being unhealthy fat people consume more resources, whether it's energy to move about, or clothing, which requires more material and additional handling, and in order to make comparably comfortable accommodations in seating-whether in airplanes, theaters, or sports arenas- there would be fewer seats and lower revenue. Virtually everything about being fat is more expensive than being normal sized.

OK, with all this ‘discriminatory’ fat shaming, etc., I propose this:

Make only one size of clothing.

Don’t know yet if it is all ‘small’, or all ‘5XXXL’.

So they can’t claim that clothing sizes ‘discriminate’.

I used to fly in a small commuter plane.

They would ask for the passenger’s weight.

That was to assure the wt vs CG was OK

We all lived through that trauma.

A seat belt extension is about $20 on Amazon.

Buy one and STFU.

leaving me feeling disregarded and "disrespected".

As soon as I read up to this point in the excerpt, it was clear that the writer was of the more "melanin-enhanced" variety.

The whole notion of feeling "disrespected" appears to be the driving force behind much of the behavior and perception in certain 'communities' and among certain demographics.

Unfortunately, anything can now be perceived as a sign of "disrespect" and trigger a violent reaction among those of the urban mindset.
