Thanks SW for letting both sides on this issue share their opinions. Openness does not appear to be the case at Smodcast with moderators only allowing posts that fit their specific Narrative. Very very sad to filter the information flow - still love your movies though Mr. Smith.
This is clearly a safety issue and I appreciate your policy. I also understand all the pain and embarrassment this causes heavier customers - there is no good solution here. This is also symptomatic of a larger issue in America that we all need to start taking about http://www.ted.com/talks/jamie_oliver.html.

I have to agree with SW on this one; this is is a safety issue.
At 6'3" I always try to book the emergency exit for extra leg room. Recently on another airline I was asked to move out of the emergency exit row to accommodate a very overweight gentleman who booked a standard seat on a full plane. I was not happy with being shoved in the middle row (his previous seat) on a 6 hour flight to NY.
Why should the airline give preferential treatment to someone who chooses to eat poorly and discriminate against me because of my genetics? Being FAT does have it's consequences and it is a choice everyone makes to overeat and eat junk food.
Fat folks simple solution: If you don't want to have to purchase 2 tickets and go through the humiliation start eating only real food; check http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/765 for more info.
