"I'm Sorry, You'll have to buy another seat, we need you to balance out the plane."

We've all heard about it. The whole airplane and obesity problem. Yes, people are having to pay extra these days just because they weigh the same as two average people. When did we become this big? How did things become this bad? Can one person really set the plane off balance, or is this just an airline fallacy? Big people have been riding in the sky for decades now, and I find it strange that we are choosing now, a time when America is more money-hungry than ever, to start adding a price per pound. Corporate America is playing the game, and we're the game board.
