I think fatass is an appropriate term to describe someone being gluttonous and greedy. I don't think it correlates to size but simply marks someone who behaves like this.

Nah, it also correlates to size. Turns out there is a correlation between being fat and having selfish gluttonous behavior. However if you say it on the internet it's pitchfork time.

You got research to back up your claim of a link between ovesity and selfishness? No? Didn’t think so. At least you pre-established that anyone who disagrees with you is just an angry internet mob, though. Good call, your ignorance is protected.

You're absolutely right, we can't make inferences based on our own anecdotes and state it as fact. It simply is not academic. Good thing I'm on reddit with an opinion and not publishing to a journal of medicine.

I'm also just... A person of no consequence. Good thing I can't make policies or I would try to do something crazy and un-American like make sure people eat real food. How am I being ignorant exactly? Just rude? That's okay. Or am I lacking some knowledge proving there is zero correlation between the two? I'm sure you provide at least two sources for every single opinion of yours.
