Should obese people be entitled to an extra free seat when flying?

Sure, I'll go along with this idea that there are morbidly obese people that are disabled and need extra room. No need to give them free seats, though, the Airlines should just install some Handicapped accessible X-tra large seats

Of course, how will one prove that they are disabled and can access the new, bigger, plusher comfy chairs( or simply the plain old extra seat)?

Will a Doctor's note suffice?

Will the standards for handicapped here be as lax as they must be for all those out there who have a handicapped sign hanging from there rear view mirror?

Where you going to draw the line?

I might have Restless Leg Syndrome(yeah, that'll be my disability) and need to have my legs up and stretched out


Morbidly obese?
I think the spirit of this law, which pertains to a few, has been corrupted by the many fat people who have earned their way to their present status

I'm 200 pounds and should be 160 pounds, do I qualify?

btw your Race 3 pick at the Mountain sucked

I'm glad it was my only pick on the card. I'm too tired right now to try to 'cap a race

I want extra free meals so I can become obese and get an extra seat in the future. What a retarded ruling. Oops, now I'm insensitive to both mentally handicapped and morbidly obese people.

It's Canada for petes sake...you really think they would have ruled differently?

[Mike]

I hope they are not lumping overeaters/"food addicts" into this ruling, I feel it should be reserved for a very few severely obese people who suffer verifiable physical disorders. If the disease concept of food addiction is honored here in this ruling, then I feel they need to provide smokers with a place on airplanes (and every other public place), and us drug addicts should have an area on the flight to get a little higher if need be
