People Who Are Over Weight Should Not Be Able To Get First Class Seats In Airplanes For The Price Of A Normal One.
It is unfair for obese people to get First Class seating for the price of normal aircraft seats in airplanes due to their large body weight. This is because it is unfair to others who pay the same price, but do not get the tranquility, and higher quality treatment that these obese people are receiving. Although obesity can sometimes be a disease, I still believe that they should not be able to sit in First Class for the price of regular seats. If they do need more space, they should pay for the price of First class.

I agree if you are given special treatment you should have to pay for it. If you receive extra anything you should pay for it. Have you noticed the increase in the price of clothing? One reason for that increase is because motre material is needed to make the clothes for larger sizes but the price of that increase in material needed is divided between those who need the large size and those who don't. For those of us who take care of ourselves to have to pay for those who don't is not fair. As the obese person gets more and more flight upgrades we will all see a raise in prices in order to pay for the extras that the obese are receiving.

And furthermore, passengers should be charged by the pound like their luggage.

They absolutely should be charged for two seats or at least an extra fee. If they are allowed to be 100 lb. Overweight and not get charged, why do get a fee if my suitcase is 5 lb. Over? Maybe the the fee will inspire the person to lose weight. How about not letting yourself go to the point that you cannot fit into one seat or walk around a grocery story without a motorized cart?

I am not in favour of being prejudiced against the fat people.
I find this slightly abhorrent.....and extreme.

Spend one day fat in this world and you will never be fat-prejudiced again.
Is all I am saying......you know? ;-)

 I don't think this was about prejudice but about the fact that obese ppl are getting prefferencial treatment. If anything the airlines are being prejudiced against thin ppl in not giving them the first class seats. Treat everyone equally discriminate against no-one and give favor to no-one.
