Big wheels

I was struck by the number of obese people I saw today in the Magic Kingdom riding around in electric carts. Of course I didn't ask people about their individual conditions --I'm sure some were in the carts for reasons other than their weight-- but I think it's safe to say that more obese people are interested in getting out and about. It's become more socially acceptable.An Israeli kibbutz has capitalized on this phenomenon, modifying its 2-3 seater electric scooters into single passenger models for the US market. They can carry a person who weighs up to 500 pounds. I didn't see any of their models today --perhaps they are too large for the park.
