Do fat people really hurt the environment more than fit people?

[Yola]

ok, so i heard a few days ago that if you are overweight that you breathe more heavily, causing more CO2 to go into the environment. But, to stay fit people have to exersise and when excersising we increase our heart rates causing us to breath much heavier than any obese person. so my question is, all things put together, is being fit really better for the environment than being overweight?

No. That almost doesn't make sense.

It's not that they breathe harder, it's that overweight people tend to drive more than walk or bicycle. They also tend to eat more, which consumes more resources. If they like beef, then this contributes quite a bit to deforestation.

although It would take some work to make legal we could use what they have for lipodiesel.
