:
How much must a person weigh to be too fat to fly? almost makes me try for a joke, but the ensuing thread makes me question some real prejudices here. Fattie? Normal? How, actually, is normal defined - especially in a country with a myriad of ethnicities and cultures. What if normal were defined as “6‘2” 180 pounds, size 38 pants.” I wouldn’t even qualify. Not tall enough. Not heavy enough. Not big enough. Would it round out the equation if you averaged people by two, to make them both “whatever normal is?”
Question: What size and shape of person would you consider normal?
