Why is it when the very obese can’t fit in a seat so many of them are quick to cry discrimination? “They didn’t design this with normal people in mind” and such.
Shouldn’t it be a wake up call? Maybe it’s one of those natural controls like EI.
Unemployment goes up when the economy slows down but EI generates economic activity. When unemployment is low inflation is generally high but people paying in to EI cuts down on the spending a bit thus mitigating inflation a little. Thus EI creates an automatic response to limit the extremes of the boom-bust cycle.
Seats can be the same. If you can’t fit in a seat due to being obese (in a way under your control of course, thyroid issues exempt for example) then perhaps you shouldn’t be sitting. Perhaps life has become too convenient to the point that the convenience has become unhealthy. An excuse not to get the minimum exercise your body needs.
I fully grant that I have no idea what I’m talking about as neither I nor anyone I know very well has had to grapple with the degree of obesity discussed here. The few I have known, all acquaintances at best, seemed to me to be some of the lazier folks I’ve known. Is it causal or is it a chicken-or-egg thing? I don’t know but when someone half-sits on me because the seat on the bus isn’t big enough for them it makes me wonder if maybe they shouldn’t be sitting - certainly not on me!
