Will we ever elect an obese President?

[Antonio the Sixth]

Well.. Maybe not an obese, but why not a slowly overweighed president ? I don't understand what people could have against that, especially if he is a good candidate.

There's a time for any thing. The time of fat, lesbian, color-blind, vegan, classical Greek God worshiping, and of Korean, Ukrainian, South African, Indonesian, Mexican, and Turkish ethnicities Presidents will come... one day...

An obese person could not get elected today, but if standards of personal beauty change so that we revert to the historical norms wherein it was better to be obese than starvishly thin, then yes.   We live in a land of plenty where obesity is associated with being poor, not wealthy enough to afford excess food.  Once the world population reach 20 or 30 billion, I imagine being overweight will once again be considered better than being underweight.

For health, it actually is better.
