think of all the money slow metabolizers can save. fat is basically money int he bank. if you only have to eat 1000 calories a day, or whatever, cause you’re a slow metabolizer, it’s like free money, almost a perpetual stream of revenue. if i could eat so little and still keep alive, basically im living for nothing, just a couple pieces of bread, some cheese, some water, and gin.
maybe if food prices keep going up, people will view fat as savings, something to live off in lean times.
wasn’t it really pretty recent that fat was equated with rich? if you really are on the brink of actual starvation, as opposed to just feeling hungry, it probably would be comforting to have 20 or 30 pounds of fat on you to carry you over to better times.
