You may want to google "food addiction".

The hypothetical situation I put fourth included the necessity of pumping a stomach, which suggests ODing. It all fits if you look at it. Public funding (ambulance) going to help someone addicted to something that's not illegal and that one might call a personal problem.

The gentleman on the hydrant would likely stretch from the window seat to the aisle seat. That's 3 seats. Would you ned 3 seats?

As I already said, it's not about public decency laws, it's about decency.

It's better because they have a more efficient system, but again, that's for another thread.
