Airlines 'Should charge Fat Passsengers More'

Please do not take this topic on personal basis. The Topic comes from Dr. Bhatta of Norway and many other doctors too, write about it and research have shown that overeating is the primary cause for obesity and overweight.
Partially, I agree that for a very small number of people, obesity is not self inflicted for one or two reasons.
- as a baby, your mother or the person responsible for the baby care, maybe cooking the wrong foods and also may tend to overfeed the baby.
- there is also, a gut bacteria which can cause obesity.

However, as adults it is good to watch what we eat, what we drink especially the soft beverages and avoid certain foods which cause fatness, while others increase the sugar level in our bodies. Eating all too often in restaurants or hotels can be another cause for obesity or overweight.
Obesity is not only a weight based problem, it can bring High Blood pressure, damage to feet and diabetes. It has also been found to cause infatility.

In most cases of obesity people tend to sweat a lot often emitting bad orders. Ofcourse, even a thin person can have such ordours if he or she does not bathe properly, but it is more in the obeses as it gets tought to reach all parts of the body when showering or bathing.

If we look back some decades, our parents, grand parents and great grand parents did not suffer the same calamity. People hardly ate in fast restaurants because there were not any. They also did not fry most of their foods.

A few tips can help in getting the gut bacteria by drinking lots of water with a few drops of Apple Cider Vinegar in each glass of water. Drinking water first thing in the morning, with meals, in between and the last thing before going to bed might be of great help. Also exercises and going to the gym may certainly help, especially when we have jobs where we sit for too long in any given period.

Dr. Oz has a lot of reasonable and cheap diets to offer online.

Lastly it is good to watch weight because overweight and obesity does make people to be invalids, that is unable to get out of beds, being sent to nursing homes for specialized help as movements limited and this is costly.

I believe when airlines start changing passengers per their weight, it will be good for those who are overweight because they will strive to keep good weight which is good for health. Airlians have standardized seats and do not cater for fat people. They will have to charge for an extra space besides the overweight.
