so check out THIS real world math. So southwest builds this plane and they are rolling it out with a bunch of fanfare.

It sheds 472lbs which will equate t...o 9500 gal / yr. The capacity of a 737 is approx 130 people. 30% of the american population can be described as one of the following: overweight, obese, or morbidly obese (25% obese! http://www.obesity.org/statistics/). Obese is defined as having a BMI > 30. Average height of an american man is 69.3 inches (http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/bodymeas.htm).

Other useful notes
BMI = (weight in lbs *703)/(height in inches)^2
Healthy BMI = approx 20

SOOOOO, if we make a couple of assumptions for simplicity sake (all men on plane, planes all fly full, there are plenty more) if americans would stop being fat we could save how much fuel/yr?

SOLN:
about 60,000 gal/yr


If we only let skinny people fly not only would us healthy people have a much more pleasant flying experience but we would save the environment too!

I love it! Saved space, but I am an iwhore so I don't know if my opinion counts.

i could use an XBOX 360 to find the meaning of life

Back in MY day engadget giveaways didn't require so much legal mumbo-jumbo

ok, i am an iwhore without an iphone. ineed it

I have a nikon D60 and it is really nice. Great aperture and shutter speed priority settings.

Ok, give it to me!

Snoop a loop
