> but the real solution in my opinion is to relegate a few rows with only 2 seats for overweight people, priced accordingly

Don't planes generally already have this? Most planes I have been on have the business class (or whatever it is called) seats at the front, with just two seats beside eachother, and then the rest of the plane being three seats. I guess it is not targeted at people who are overweight, but it is available.

The fat people say it's discrimination that they're expected to pay more for a seat (such as in business class as you suggest) than thinner people.

Also, it doesn't help that in America, fatter people tend to be poorer.
