Fat makes the news

A thin woman was kicked off a plane to make room for an obese teenager.

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. I get that airlines have a difficult time with keeping obese and normal weight customers happy. What seems wrong though is that a person can take up 2 seats but pay for one. If the seats were too small to begin with, that's fair, they should give fat folks 2. If not, it seems right that they charge for 2 seats. It's what musicians have to pay to keep their instruments close.

What a political nightmare though.
