Have you ever been on a plane where 30% of people are obese? On my average flight on a 737 size plane i only see maybe 10 fatties that might struggle to fit in a seat

I cant back up the health angle, but commercial fliers absolutely are weighted to being younger than the overall population

You don't need to struggle to fit in a single airplane seat to be considered obese.

You don't have to tell me anything, your the one arguing that unhealthy people fly at a lower rate than healthy ones

How could saying a group of travelers is healthier than the general population be considered mean? Sounds more like a compliment,

Maybe not as many people fat enough to require the motorized shopping cart, but the general definition of obese, yes.

How have i moved it?

I clearly said fragile old people in OP.

Planes are full of old people. Not fragile ones near death.
