Excuse me, but the nation's fat people are fat because of choices they make.

And you are ignorant because you choose to be. How about people who have a thyroid problem?

Are you aware that a lot of overweight people got that way due to emotional problems? People have been known to turn to drugs, alcohol. How many people do you know have been killed by food addictions? Who is getting hurt by a fat person? Hmm?

So do you think they should be penalized, punished?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Not all fat people are fat by choice. Some it is glandular, some genetic, some disorders (like lymphedema).

BUT!

You pay for the seats you occupy, period.

Not to mention those who are injured or ill, and unable to exercise.

My doctor told me himself it would have been nearly impossible for me to avoid gaining weight after a serious injury which kept me in bed for a year, followed by years of lung problems, during which I was NOT ALLOWED to exercise,per doctor's orders.

Oh, so because of your emotional problems, I should only get half of my seat because your porky butt cannot fit in yours only, right?
