Ooh, im a pilot and fat people really take the biscuit. For every 30 pounds above the average body weight, airliners consume an extra POUND OF FUEL AN HOUR!!!!
Everyone should be 'weighed in' with their baggage, the allowance should be body mass +baggage mass. I hate being told I am over my 30Kg limit longhaul, when I weigh 68 Kgs!!!!0 -

I already pay a tax for being fat. It's called my gym membership** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
**SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
I do it all because I'm scared.

You could put the tax on waist measurements, which is a much more accurate indicator of how healthy somebodies weight is. Every inch over the limit could be £500 tax at the end of the FY.0

"I dont get that. Why not just go for a run outside listening to an ipod?"
hurts the knees / trainers wear out too fast on the pavement / can't afford an ipod / children point and laugh at wobbly bits / live in an estate where people throw cider cans at you / there's a swimming pool at the gym too / just don't want to run outside in the cold, alright?0
