A passenger with diabetes had a confrontation with a family on an airplane when they were asked not to eat due to their son's condition. The passenger responded by telling the family to fly private if they wanted to control their surroundings. The mother then attempted to educate the passenger about her son's condition, but the passenger was not receptive. The incident has sparked a debate on whether the passenger was in the wrong, or if the family should have been more accommodating.

Passenger refuses to stop eating on flight, causes controversy 🍔👀
A recent flight from NYC to LAX turned into a heated debate when a passenger refused to stop eating despite a child's medical condition. The passenger, who suffers from diabetes, needed to eat to regulate their blood sugar levels, but the child's parents claimed their son's Prader-Willi syndrome meant he would have a tantrum if he saw someone eating. Despite the parents' requests, the passenger continued to eat and drink, causing tensions to rise. After the flight, the passenger recounted their experience to a friend who deemed them an AH, but the passenger wonders if they were in the wrong. Is it fair for one person's medical needs to be prioritized over another's? Or should the passenger have shown more empathy toward the family's situation? Share your thoughts below.
