Here's what a Princeton professor thinks of fatties, and he isn't the first person to propose this. I think airlines make them buy two seats, but this is a different approach...

I made the same argument on here, that we should be charging heavier people, i.e. fatties, more money.

It's basic engineering. Fuel economy goes down as weight goes up. Heavier people are costlier to move.
