Here we go with this "shaming" nonsense again.
Look -- if you're fat, you're FAT. Let's stop acting like being overweight is not a problem. It is. If it incurs additional fees on something like a passenger airplane, then so be it. It's a very minimal consequence when compared to the list of issues one will face with being unhealthy.
Weighing more doesn't necessarily mean "fat." Lots of fit guys travel who tip the scales above 200 pounds.
Funny that people think that overweight people are somehow “getting over” on them because they pay the same price for an airline ticket than thinner folks do. One of the silliest notions I’ve ever heard!
If airlines ever did this, I could see passengers who are overweight exchange weight with their baggage so that they don’t have to pay a surcharge. For example if the limit is 200lbs, and a person weighs 210 pounds, their bag could weigh no more than 40lbs.
A few years ago there was word of "standing seats", and it was mostly a hoax. This would fall under the same category.

Not a hoax, the owner of Ryan Air looked seriously into it, but declared it would never be approved due to safety reasons.
