"Rebecca Alexander at Besaws Restaurant in Portland, Ore., which gets mostly high marks from AllGo, the crowdsourced mobile app she founded to help larger people find comfortable options. But here, she shows how balancing on the bar chairs is hard because they are narrow, not deep enough, and have backs"

31-year-old who wears a size 30 Good rule of thumb: if the first digit of your age and your size are the same, you're way too big.

Ms. Alexander, a 31-year-old who wears a size 30Eating out comfortably at restaurants should be the least of your worries. You are morbidly obese. You are killing yourself. You need to focus on your health.

Alternatively, you can develop your detective skills, earn a fortune, and have a custom-built chair built for your brownstone in Manhattan, and hire a top of the line chef to prepare your meals, snacks and beer.

you say that in jest, but I've seen a LOT of heavy folks that won't quit smoking because they say "it keeps the weight off"

She could lose 7 dress sizes & still have trouble fitting into some restaurant booths.

“For people who identify as large, plus-size or fat,...”
Identify as? Please, can this just stop? If you are too large to fit in a restaurant booth, perhaps some reflections on lifestyle choices are overdue.

Is that woman in the pic facing front or back? If she's facing front, it looks like she needs a bra on her back as well. Maybe she just forgot to comb the hair outta her face.
Why does society keep enabling peoples poor choice of lifestyle?

Hi there. Are you a large person? Pleasantly plump? A little on the hefty side, perhaps? Well, let's face it: Are you FAT? When you go jogging, do you leave pot-holes? When you make love, do you have to give directions? At the zoo, do the elephants throw YOU peanuts? Do you look at a menu and say 'OK'? Well, now, you can eat all you want, because at Thornton Melon's "Tall & Fat" stores, we've got you covered. That's right. Fine woolen, and woolen-blend suits and sport coats, in all the larger sizes - husky, stout, extra-stout, and the new Hindenburg line. And for you ladies we have caftans, muumuus, and our own exclusive A-frame in all colors and patterns. Yes, we have miles and miles of fabric. So take it from me, Thornton Melon, if you want to look thin, you hang out with fat people.

It shouldn’t be hard for a round person to get a square meal.

Well yeah, but she could be a skeleton and still have problems fitting into some restaurant booths. If they don’t want people to eat there a lot of modern places should just become delivery only.

Cooking and eating at home should be her first step. There is no more unhealthy food, than restaurant food, as a rule.
Loaded with butter, oil fat, and carbs, is how they make it taste good.

She should had made reservations ahead of time at a restaurant that would have assured her a table.
How hard was that?
