In defense of fatties
Fat people are prone to a ton of health related problems. They require constant medical care and stay hospitalized for greater periods of time, thus creating a demand for medical professionals.
Fatties like to eat. A lot. Thus creating a demand for workers in the food service and agricultural professions.
Fatties also lead to lower crime rates. If 31% of Americans are obese, that means that only 69% of Americans have any chance of getting away from the police in a foot chase. Those 31% are easily caught and locked up the first time they commit a crime, thus lessing the chance of a long criminal career.
Fat people could save your life. Imagine you and your obese buddy are out for a (slow) walk in the woods. You round a bend and come face to face with a bear! You don't have to be able to outrun the bear, just your fat friend.
Fat girls provide a viable "last call" option. We've all spent nights at the pub, getting shot down left and right. If you happen to strike out with the hotties, you have a fall back plan with the notties. For the price of a supersized value meal, you get laid and they get a much needed self-esteem boost. Everyone wins!
