The airlines' failure to be realistic about the size and shape of Americans as a group is nowhere near in sight of being my fault or yours. Nor is being overweight (by whatever standard), for that matter. I don't ever mean to suggest otherwise.
I wish there was a way to separate the genuine scientific health issues about weight and diet and eating and exercise from the huge mess of inane social assumptions we have about character and appearance. Until then, my pudgy self will be strapped in next to the anorexic stick-woman on a spiralling plane crash, forever.
