    Hey, rich old white dudes may continue to get elected if overweight.

    But to answer your question: Yes, public sociology. Fodder for the next Footnotes.

    A more interesting question is whether an obese woman will ever be president. Considering “former beauty pageant participant” is a necessary condition for running on the GOP ticket, it seems highly unlikely.
