This has been argued to death on this forum. It raises it's head once a year at least.
What irritates me is those commenting on large people "stuffing their faces" "eating all flight" etc. I have sat on a plane to bali and watched very SKINNY people do this too. Especially on flights which don't charge for a meal.
I am a larger chick, I don't take up someone else's seat, but pretty comfy in my own. I eat a meal and I love a drink or 5 on the way to bali. So are you going to be snickering behind your hands and hanging sh1t on me because I ate the meal and drank some drinks and you noticed that but didn't notice the skinny person do it?
My non overweight mate always takes lollies too, she snacks on them on the way over.. but of course that's OK because she's skinny. But god forbid she gave one of them to me... UPROAR. Also, I don't smell.. far out!!!
I think some people are being very unfair on larger people on this forum. I in no way like other people's comfort to be compromised on a flight at all, I don't do that and wouldn't like it done to me. But I have a fat ar$e and just because I do, doesn't mean i can't eat anything on a flight.
blah...
