Don't you just love the free market?
Sounds to me like westerners need to eat less. Go to the sandy places on this planet and people's backsides are not 20-ax-handles wide as they are in the USA. Besides if you want to travel in luxury - charter a plane; otherwise just be quiet and give the bus driver your ticket. :-)
