Should obese people be entitled to an extra free seat when flying?

[Mike]

I hope they are not lumping overeaters/"food addicts" into this ruling, I feel it should be reserved for a very few severely obese people who suffer verifiable physical disorders. If the disease concept of food addiction is honored here in this ruling, then I feel they need to provide smokers with a place on airplanes (and every other public place), and us drug addicts should have an area on the flight to get a little higher if need be
