Not all sumo wrestlers are necessarily fat:

Japan has a very shitlordy culture, but have a lot of respect for sumo. Personally, (and not Japanese) I don't care. I'd be curious to hear from someone more familiar with the Japanese.
Wouldn't want to sit next to one on a plane, though.

If you don't hate fat people, you don't belong here.
Sumo wrestlers have to force themselves to get fat by having "weight gain diets" which is different than your typical Walmart ham. They eat high calorie dense meals such as chanko nabe which is high calorie soup alongside forcing themselves to eat several bowls of rice. They aren't eating twinkies and complaining about how their genetics made them this way.

Couldn't agree more, it's impressive though that they can eat over 10k kcal/day and still move faster/more agile than the average American. Other than that I think it is and should remain a grey zone that isn't defined. After all they are in Japan and don't block the line in the supermarket with their 10L of Mountain Dew and Diet cola.
