Obesity weighing down planes.
ATLANTA (AP) - Heavy suitcases aren't the only things weighing down airplanes and requiring them to burn more fuel, pushing up the cost of flights. A new government study reveals that airlines increasingly have to worry more about the weight of their passengers.

I will soon be illegal to purchase 4-androstenediol, ephedra is illegal, but binging on McDonalds day in and day out is completley legal.
That makes sense.

They should charge airfare just as they charge shipping pakages, by the weight and if they exceed certain dimensions charge against that as well. Or that could make it mandatory that "in the event of an emergency, the fat bastard in row 39 seats G through L will serve as a life raft until we are rescued."
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

That would penalize those of us who are large but in shape also.

I'm not trying to punish anyone, I'm being honest.
