Have you ever seen those old political cartoons about the 'upper' classes, depicting them all as extremely (like actually round in shape) fat folks always eating at a table while others starve? The stereotypical caricature came from somewhere in reality, and my bet is that eating all you want has always been a staple of people in a pretty good position in life.

And also people who have trouble knowing, or were never taught when enough is enough.

And where are the 3 missing people? I mean together they weigh as much as 8 people but I don’t know anyone actually named their rolls.

Obesity signals authority to others due to the implied access to abundant food.

I don’t know about that.

Size tends too, and the stats on leaders and CEO heights kinda shows it.

But a few of these people just look like gluttons. Maybe too much time in front of a screen or just too much of the wrong kinds of food. Probably both.

They are medium size, it's okay.
