[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have normalized obesity and there are a multitude of negative effects from lifelong obesity. I would wager that a large percentage of disabled people are obese and suffering the consequences.[/quote] This is it. I scrolled across a video by some plus size Disney park hoppers and ended up doom scrolling for hours. I had no idea this was a thing! But it certainly is. There's a group of 4 or 5 obese women on TikTok (and YouTube) who test all the rides at Disney to show which are fat friendly. The main person doing all the voiceovers on the videos says that their sizes range from 2x to 5x. They rent mobility scooters at the parks because they can't walk them. I don't think we should fat shame or make fun of those who are overweight, but we also shouldn't celebrate it and we shouldn't make adaptations to accommodate them. Disney or Delta or Amtrak shouldn't need to design obese seating. [/quote]
