This is silly. We're fatter because we have food. Our Grandparents didn't have enough protein and fat to get tubby. Yes, there are people that are fat because they eat too much and don't move. I do not disagree with that.

The managing cleaner at our office is from Egypt. She always says, "fat is good". She's right. Due to stress and a stomach disorder, I lost 35 lbs in one month. I had excess fat that let me not die. I was 6' 260, definitely too fat. But the fat reserve saved me.

If I was 170 lbs, I would have possibly died. My brother has been hospitalized several times for minor stomach bugs. But I'm fine. I can not eat for a week and stay alive. My brother has to have IV fluids if he gets very sick. I just have to lay down and rest.

Running stairs is good exercise for your heart, but the elevator isn't making you fat. "Fat as gently caress" is a different condition. I've worked with a man that couldn't even walk 100 feet. He'd have to take a break. But he ate normal amounts of food. I'm familiar with super-obese people. I knew another guy who ate the better part of a cow for lunch and ate pork rinds as a snack. I hope that the first one survived. I know the second is still around. He decided to take care of himself.

I can kinda see it (it's because the SFX lettering in the Japanese represents a specific set of sounds (for that sound, probably something like ド-サ or どさ) which is an awkward-sounding sound effect in English.

I agree that it's pretty pointless to keep it in (If you wanna learn what the SFX are actually saying, learn the drat JP alphabet, it's not that hard)
