Not all ?Fat people? are fat by choice. My problem was 100% medical and I tried everything to lose it.
Many times I bought 2 sets when I traveled and did on my own.
I?m not against the airline wanting to charge for 2 seats for someone that don?t fit because it is unsafe and cuts into the person next to him or her.
I agree with Scooter on this one...
I was once 330 pounds and finally took it upon myself to finally do something about it. I lost about 160 pounds over the course of about a year or so. I will admit that it was not a medical condition...it was simply the circumstances of my life...to much to explain. At the end of the day I had to make some very dramatic life changes that effected my family and my work, but it had to be done or I was going to die.
In any event, in most cases I do have sympathy for MOST fat people as i was once in their shoes.
