Tangent; if there was a nuclear war and subsequent global famine, would the obesity epidemic turn out to be a blessing, allowing more people to survive the initial winter?
The question would be whether we'd be able to digest the fat of these obese people without the mechanisms of our bodies turning it into something usable.

No, since they would be easy prey for the skinny cannibals
That still means more skinny cannibals can survive though doesn’t it?

Isn’t fat easily separated from muscle (for cooking purposes)
Some fats which are bad for you are wrapped around internal organs. Subcutaneous fat is easy to separate though.
That would be the ultimate keto diet!
God I love this website
The extra fat supply might last you what, a couple months tops? Nuclear winter and famine would probably last years.
