It's because there's no such thing as starvation mode, when you live on subsistence agriculture and more or less starve for 3-4 months a year (winter in Europe) the body burns those fat stores pretty quick.

technically speaking being morbidly obese will cause blindness in numerous cases, yes.

Isn't Witcher set in a post-apocalyptic world where food is extremely scarce?
I'm not sure post-apocalyptic is quite right, but it isn't entirely wrong. It's set after an event called "the conjunction of the spheres" where, basically, magic and monsters bled into whatever world The Witcher is set in (Earth maybe?). It definitely caused a lot of chaos, but society still keeps going. More or less.

Is it worth picking up on steam? like, what kind of game is it?

No, it's set in eastern Europe during the middle ages.

And here is how these 3 like to present themselves http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/File:Crones_portrait.png A hell of a Myspace angle.

Well, merchants typically had money and slaves. Pretty sure there's always been a select few, of the most privileged, of each generation that have always had more than their adequate portions, in food. Try telling a whale that they're the privileged ones, for having the luxury of making themselves obese, though.

No fat people in a medieval world ravaged by war.
To me, it was unrealistic that the peasant looked so healthy and full of energy
