Clothes have always been the same cost regardless of size apart from kids sizes, why do you feel the need to use this to have a pop a large/fat people?

This is absolutely ridiculous. A bigger t-shirt has more raw material therefore costs more.

That wasn't my point, my point was adult clothing has always cost the same across the board
Have larger clothes all of a sudden become more expensive to produce or has someone spotted an opportunity to make more money based on today's larger society

I pay more per square inch than a person who purchases an XXL does. That's how I subsidise them.

If for example my t shirt costs £5 to make and I pay £10 but an XXL costs £12 to make and they pay £10, that's clearly me subsidising you.

Same reason that I, as a careful driver, have to pay increasingly higher insurance premiums to cover tw@s who can't drive.

Maybe you should form some kind of little person collective and live on an island away from normal sized people.

You're not subsidising me fella, I buy medium/large depending on the garment
Back to the point at hand, maybe the XXL cost is the actual cost to make but people buying small etc are being ripped off

But you don't, you pay less if you've had less accidents, or are deemed a less risky driver. So that's complete rubbish.

Your argument would only be true if everybody paid the same amount for their insurance.

90% of the time we are all being ripped off, small people just more than others.

We deserve a break, we can't even see the clothes on the top shelf ffs

We all face the same rises in premium despite no change in circumstances.

But you still pay less for being a safer driver or living in a safer neighbourhood, or having a more secure car etc etc.

I agree with this. People should have their BMI checked as they walk through shop doors, and if it's above say 30 they should be charged more. Likewise, they should have body fat scanners in McDonald's - anyone with more than 25% body fat should only qualify for healthy option meals. I call it the Fat Barstard Tax.

But I also pay less for a cheap t-shirt over a "branded" one.

Look it was never meant to be a direct analogy - just pointing out that we live in a "civilised" society where costs are spread.

That said, it's hard to justify it all really.
