If your ass is spread halfway into my seat at the movie theater, you're too fat.

If you complain about not being able to fit in coach on a plane, you're too fat.

If people can't get around you on the sidewalk, at the mall, or in the hallway, you're too fat.

If a perfectly good chair breaks while you're sitting on it, you're too fat.

Who am I? A free-speaking newbie to the forums. Lose weight, fatty. Since the article is apparently no longer freely available, I'll fill you in. The government is imposing fines on provinces who don't meet the particular standard... it is not jailing citizens or jotting down waisteline numbers in their criminal records. Will taxes increase as a result? Probably. How's that any different from taxing cigarettes, though? This isn't the end of the world; it's a step in the right direction.
