Apparently, Australian airlines are proposing a 'fat tax'. They already make you pay extra if your bags weigh too much, and now they want to make people pay for their total weight, bags and bodies.

Personally, I think this is a good thing. I mean, if someone is going to take up twice the space, twice the food, and is going to take more energy to transport, why should they pay as much as someone using just the regular amount of resources? I am totally agreeing with this.
Maybe I am biased. I don't know. I think it's maybe because I had to sit next to a morbidly obese person for hours on a plane, and his stomach rolls were slopping into my seat.
eh.
