Have you looked at Americans? Most of them are a year or more from starving.

LOL! I got some extra baggage, I tell people I am my own bug out bag-—at least as far as food is concerned!
In July 2019, I was running at about 146 lbs on my 5 ft 11 in frame. 13% body fat. My wife developed type 1 diabetes in August 2019. Her inability to carefully control her diet has subverted my dietary control. I'm 157 lbs in May 2023. Anytime I get out in the yard doing significant physical labor, I burn off two or 3 pounds. It wouldn't take long to get back to 146.
You're correct in the observation that there are more than a few "Lizzo" type physiques. It's going to be a very harsh adjustment to lose the conveyor belt of food that it takes to get that fat. While the fatties have a lot of calories stored, it still takes a steady supply of clean water and vitamins to use that fat for energy. There is a lot of toxic crap stashed in the fat stores as well. I don't think the fatties will fare much better as the food supplies dry up.
DOD “experiments” have determined after missing four meals there is rioting in the streets.
After missing ten days of meals they start killing and eating each other.
Doesn’t matter how fat they are, though I imagine the fat ones make better barbeque.
