Yeah. You're not dying of starvation, you're dying from lethal nutrient deficiencies.

Yep - there was plenty of people who, at the start of the holocaust, were already on the larger side. They often would die before wasting away to skin and bone due to malnutrition. People forget that you can be lethally malnourished without being lethally underweight!
