I don't want to write about fat people. Not as side characters, not as main characters, not even as villains or background people. How are you supposed to write people you don't like and aren't even interested in?
When somebody writes a fat character, does it pull you into the story better, or no?
Generally I think that putting fat anything into your works is just not a good idea. I don't even think the old greats even bothered with them either.

In ref to fat people in literature.
Pierre in War and Peace, the most interesting character in the book, is characterised by his stout figure, fat hands and limbs, and love of eating.
And Ignatius from Confederacy Of Dunces.
Fat characters are an easy way to distinguish a character in the reader's mind, as well as a shorthand for comic relief/pity/grotesque. In a way it is cheating, a convenient way to add colour.
