Nope. Fat all of my life (except once when I was deathly ill, in fact, I almost died. And NOT related to weight.). Not diabetic. Not in poor health. Not taking up hospital beds. My cholesterol is fine, my sugar is fine, my blood pressure is fine. Stop hiding your bias behind fake, uninformed, concern.

(I also don’t take up both armrests on the plane but by default the middle person, no matter their size, gets both armrests. I normally sit in the aisle seat.)
