I knew that people were getting fatter and lazier but never thought they were costing us more money to fly.

Its time to stop eating some food and try walking or some sort of exersice people.

I was on one of those Airbus puddle jumpers once (going from like Chicago to Milwaukee) and there were a few "people of large carriage" on board. The stewardness asked for a couple people to sit in the back to quote "balance the weight"

I think... un-optimized eating habits are a problem in the world today, especially America. It can cause health problems that people wouldn't normally have and I believe that, along with the growing number of old people who, by default, need more care is part of the reason health care costs are going up. More demand, more cost.

Also, as everyone knows, part of a healthy diet is spam :P

We must all run. Run from the cops. Run from your parents. Run from the gamestop guys when you steal a Psone screen
