gosh, this is sad. I totally understand how uncomfortable it must be having someone you don't know kinda pressed against you when you are flying but i bet its nothing compared to how the heavy person is feeling. I have flown when i was really obese and it was far from a nice experience. I argued with OH and forced him to let me sit at the window (cos there was a bit extra room). Once i had to sit by a total stranger and that was horrific, i was mortified cos she had a baby too (on her lap) i vowed never to do it again and thankfully i these days things like that don't bother me.
My heart goes out to obese flyers, i totally remember the fear and panic about whether the seat or belt will be ok. I really hope this doesn't put people off going on holiday but i have to say it would have made me think twice.
Sad. I really think fatism is the last taboo. Lets start the revolution!
