Fat people starving to death

How skinny is a fat person when they die from starvation?
I am wondering because I saw a fat homeless lady today. Do fat homeless people need to eat or can they survive from their own fat?

what if you put it this way... 'If I were to go back there with a chocolate fudge cake, who would it benefit more, her or the skinny guy next to her?' I would say that it would prolong the skinny guys life much longer than the fatty, as the body uses and is used to using less calories. But a muscly guy would go much quicker, muscles take a staggering number of calories to maintain themselves every day. But in response to your question i have no idea whether you die of starvation only when you have burned all your fat reserves or whether you are more likely to die of malnutrition beforehand. i would guess the latter is true, im sure fat homeless people are much worse off but a skinny one would benefit more from food donations :p

side note: where the fuck is uncle buck, not saying this thread needs him but he gives out stars for nothing. but homeless people are really cool. fat people dying from being hungry, yeah uhh maybe they just need to stop eating and replace the fat with some green(salad, veggis, herbs) do them some good. fat people cant starve they are the reason why BB king ran out of french fries

the answer is yes, to test this you get a bat and knock out a fat ass(hmm wheres urca) and a bean pole( uncle buck) they get thrown into a coma and watch the rate at which they become skinnier. when placed in a coma your body doesnt get used so all the muscle and fat get eaten by your body to produce energyu needed to keep it alive. the IV doesnt cut it. so the experiment is valid. i ought to know.

I would think that a larger person could survive longer without food and possibly water as well...unless they were somewhere very hot...then I would think a fat person would sweat more, thusly causing them to dehydrate...You can live a long time without food, as long as you have water...And soda has calories...so if you ate nothing, and lived off of soda and water, you would be very unhealthy, but could live like that for quite some time...the human body is like our plants...it doesn't need most of what we give it...I mean historically humans used to live off of root vegetables and terrible jerky for months and months...

You take a fat & a skinny dude & dump em' on a deserted island. If skinny as a good sense of survival he can last a couple month until help come. As for Dumbo he will dye after a couple days unable to help himself

unfortunately i have no idea where i read this, but i read an article that mentioned that a 450 lb guy once went a year without food, but i think he took vitamin supplements. once your body goes a certain amount of time without food your hydration requirements go down since the body's processes slow down.

a fat person could probably starve to death in less than a year just from the medical complications from not eating if they weren't on some kind of supplement. organs start to fail at some point. they would absolutely last longer than some bony person under identical conditions, though. obviously this is not a very ethical experiment to conduct so the best we can do is guess.
