I dunno, maybe because grass doesn't run away when you try and eat it?

Cute, but I think you'll find only the few examples you listed of 'fat, slow, animals' in the wild... The only ones that are perhaps fat are those who are too big to be prey. Those that are prey, vegetarians such as antelope, horses, rabbits and gazelle survive on lean muscle just as much, or more, as those who chase them.
