Yes but the implication here is that obese people are actually 2 (or more) people.

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

No, it is not. It is one person, occupying two travelling-spaces. The limiting factors for an airplane are room and weight. It does not cost them less fuel, simply because some bureaucrat decided that the universe is not politically correct.

If I were CEO of the airlines, I would install arm rests that did not go up. "Yep, we gave you 22A and 22B. Good luck!" Or maybe I'd give two seats in separate isles...

Shipping _one_ vehicle with e.g. a Ferry or Train then costs always the same....whether it is a passenger car or a truck...? I have my doubts.
Room on a train or ferry is cheaper compared to an airplane; room is always sparse, and even baggage is checked for weight. And yes, you are talking about "one". Now define that; if my vehicle occupies twice the room and weight, does it count as one? If yes, than mass-transportation of those items becomes cheap; link them and claim it is a single car with lotsa wheels.

Don't laugh, I have seen this done, a big guy purchased 2 seats next to each other and the allocation then gave him 2 seats in separate isles. He was not amused.
