I find a fiery death due to a poorly trimmed light aircraft caused by the family of human blimps sat in the back row discriminatory. Weight distribution matter

I find a fiery death due to a poorly trimmed light aircraft caused by the family of human blimps sat in the back row discriminatory.
Weight distribution matters, particularly when you're in a single prop 8 seater. If some dude rocks up on the tarmac expecting to fly, but weighs as much as four other passengers combined, you'll have a hard time distributing that mass. Also, with light aircraft, your incremental fuel cost per pound of fat is that much more noticeable.
For the record, I'm both a pilot and a, um, Rubenesque, fellow.
