Controversy Issue

Now after reading and seeing pros and cons with businesses accommodating to Americans' weight, so should another product have the obligation to accommodate overweight Americans?

My biggest concern are the Airline businesses. After reading the Kevin Smith issue, it does sprout a thought, should Airlines change their seating chart, (like increasing their 'standard' size), so others can fit comfortably who do not fit in the 'standard' size?

Personally I think the airlines businesses should not have that obligation. Airlines would have to reform their 'standard' size because now a new population cannot fit standard. Or say they do half of the plane standard and the other half a larger size? Now a new problem forms, segregation. The way Kevin Smith bought his Southwest Airline ticket was the correct way. He originally bought two seats to fit more comfortably in the 'standard' seat section, (but he followed the airlines regulation, so he did the correct move).

Like this 'standardize' seating Airlines have is not placed for people to feel uncomfortable. It is mainly prioritized for safety issues, then comfort. I understand people would disagree with this, because airfare would be more expensive, only to them. Yet, also think about if we changed all the airlines segregation would come upon. Like why 'standard' people in the front, and obese people in the back or vise versa? Adding more situation to take care of. Or someone would add, why don't we all have bigger size seats in the airlines? So we strip all the seats, make them larger, now less people fit, so now more or less planes have to depart and arrive.
