Out of all the comments I've read, I did not see ONE person say anything about people who may be overweight for reasons out of their control.
I know "fat" people who are fat due to sports injuries or those caused by accidents, or just people who are big in general. My grandfather is a "big" guy. When I say big, I mean he's 6 foot 3 and is just overall a beefy guy. He's not "fat" by any means- he's just proportionally bigger than average, and I had no problem squeezed next to him on an international flight.
Long rant short- it's not *right* to charge someone for two seats just because they are unfortunate. If they eat too much, well there's no way for you to know and it's none of your business. Do you have a body-odor policy, perfume policy, or passengers with allergies policy? Probably not. Overweight people have a "problem" they can't hide like others with other problems may have. It's not fair to single them out more than they already are.
