"300,000 fatsos gone to the great cafeteria in the sky."

Pass around the Big Macs. You don't suppose this article has anything to do with the fact that Southwest Airlines wants to charge extra to fat people who can't fit in the seat? I smell another group that wants victim status.

Considering the source Washington Times, I think the article is counter to the recent fast-food calorie supper-size reports in the media as well as talk of obesity being a major problem in United States that's been in the news. Counter the food-police.

Watch to see if the press and government gives Southwest the go-ahead, even if seemingly grudgingly so. Then, a while latter watch the Southwest obesity issue be used by politicians, bureaucrats, the media and academia to bolster the food-police argument.

That they do.
But why?
Because their abundant sweat destroys the upholstery.
