American car manufacturers have been doing this for a while, I believe. Extra firm seats to support the added weight, wider seats, etc available as options.

But yes, it's a sad commentary on the growing obesity plague. Too much processed foods, poor quality nutrition, etc. Reminds me that I need to lose 20lbs.

Schools don't encourage exercise in PE that hard anymore. Having exercised all my life I am still a big guy so a larger seat is appreciated. I sat in the new M3 sport seats and actually had room compared to my M3's of 98/97 vintage.
Airline seats are the worst. I dread seeing that food giant coming down the isle knowing he is going to sit next to me and I will be sitting sideways (again).
I am not fat nor is my wife or others I know but it takes discipline to not eat all you can and to exercise.
I am also saddened to see this for the world.
If you look at the Victorian era pictures to be fat was to be considered successful. I guess the entire world not just the US is successful.

For the non-fatties = more room for car sex, more room to use your car as a Uhaul, more room for your pets to jump around, more room to pick up all all of the mods you've been slacking on getting

We experience situations related to this at work sometimes. Someone asked me once if we had a seat belt extender they could use for the car they were going to borrow. We didn't, so I told the parts guy to order one.

Back then it meant you could afford to eat more than you needed. Statistically in the US today the lower your income the more likely you are to be fat since the cheapest food is the worst for you. A bunch of grapes is a few dollars but eight bags of butter lovers popcorn is only 97 cents at Wally World.

The cheap shit is cheap because it's full of corn, which Humans couldn't originally digest by the way, and yet almost every processed food has corn in it. Coke is sweetened with corn syrup, fried foods are fried in corn oil, and most potato chips ARE corn. We feed it to our livestock (they aren't supposed to eat it either) before processing them and since this is our food economy, we grow pretty much only corn here.

Fun fact: despite the variance in brands, packaging, preparation, even taste, all boxed, bagged or canned foods are produced by one of four firms.

As someone who eats healthily in this country I can tell you that it is fucking hard and expensive. I don't see a reason to get fat because of this (you will not gain weight without putting more food than needed into your body, this is the bottom line, It won't happen) but it doesn't help. Corn blows. Fresh green veggies and grass-raised meat, people!
