Airlines are hurting for money. What's to blame. Americans are getting fatter for one thing.
The average American's weight rose by 10 pounds in the 90s. The heavier the load, the more fuel an airliner has to burn. Our extra "baggage" caused airlines to spend $275 million burning 350 million more gallons of fuel in 2000 than in 1990. Could explain airline food. Does make you want to eat less. (AP via Yahoo!)
