That's funny. When I read the first couple of posts, I had this same reaction.

I think the reasoning goes that they expect the Kettles in the back to be representative of the typical fat American (we are the fattest nation in the world by a pretty wide margin after all) but figure that the successful people who fly in F would not let that happen to themselves, and are slimmer

But,actually, I'm also going with the 'same size belt and a wider seat" theory.

Cheers.
