We should be less critical of overwight people. They tend to live quite nicely through middle age, meaning they don’t expire until they are in late middle age – when they would retire anyways, and when their children are married off. By leaving early without spending a lot of time in old age they save society a lot of money since old people often need support. Obesity will help reduce the problem of poor elderly (by removing them from society just at that point that they start needing financial aid).
