Does this mean that fat is the new "normal"?

A passenger gets removed from a flight in order to make room for another passenger who needs an extra seat because she is too fat to fit into one. So, the “normal weight” person gets displaced by the “not normal weight” person. Does this mean that the standard has now reversed? Has the worm turned? How long until the smart kids are not allowed to graduate and the stupid kids get a scholarship. How long until the olympic first place winner gets sent home, and the loser gets the gold medal? Etc.
