Sorry if there are any mistakes I haven't slept but I had to share.
As airlines have had to deal with more razor thin profit margins. So I t comes as no surprise that in-flight refreshments and means have also suffered. Yes, it can suck being stuck in economy with a fatass who refuses to accept its gluttony and buy a second seat. Still lately I've found in my frequent trips that watching a ham try to eat it's comically portioned food (normal portion for the rest of us) is my new passtime at 32k feet. I was sitting across the isle and thankfully not next to this ham as it struggled with its meal. I'm not sure of other parts of the world but so far the US really goes out of its way to skimp on food. So when I see the ham look down in complete sadness that it didn't pack millions of snacks for the four hour flight I couldn't help but laugh.
First it took ages to get served so the ham had to sit there and smell food and prevent itself the from outsight drooling and rushing down the isle. Not even my dog so longingly at his favorite toy or treat. Then when the food came and it screwed up and ordered the smaller of the two dishes. It looked so angry at itself as the two people next to him ate (what was a generous amount for an airline) and he got a soggy tiny burrito. Sorry no 3lb chipotle burritos here piggy. It got better when it tried to not eat the salad but it's urge to eat made it eat it in the end. It's single consolation was able to steal the biscotti cookie from the tray of the person next to him as they were passing the trays back and asking to keep can of coke instead of just the glass full they give you (fellow, flight attendant ham agreed). Lastly about 30min before landing it asked a flight attendant if it could buy some snacks after it watched the person a few rows in front get a snack. and flight attendant said no because we were about to start out descent. After landing it bolted for the Dunkin' Donuts for some Beth's instead of getting its bag like the rest of us.
TLDR; Fatass suffers with in flight food being so small/normal and forces itself to eat the salad.

It shows much much is going on in their lives. They have no idea how to burn time through anything but eating because that's all they ever do. They don't read, they don't think, they don't have hobbies and so they have nothing to do on a plane for a few hours. Eating is the only thing that distracts them from how miserable they are because they are too lazy to do anything about their lives.

I was once on a 4 hour flight, and this... thing broke out one of those super large, 5 pound bags of M&Ms you'd get at Costco. It sat there with the bag open the entire flight, crunching away. My entire section of plane smelled of M&Ms, and after an hour or so you could tell it was full because it was burping nonstop. And not tiny burps, big ass "brraaaaaaaaaaap" burps. And yet more handfuls would go in.
Then, the farting began. I'd lost track of time by this point, but it was thankfully after the halfway point in the flight. But this mother fucker wouldn't even try to quiet himself. So you have this farting, burping, M&M eating machine, that nobody is saying shit because it's literally like being in an airborne zoo at this point.
Thin privilege is not acting like a god damn farm animal on a commercial flight.

I know you're tired but just wanted to say it's "aisle", not "isle". But yeah, fuck fat people on planes. The amount of times I've seen them pull out their carry on only for it to be crammed with snacks for a flight that's only a few hours is ridiculous. Literally eating at all times.

Most flights make you pay extra for the meal (Add $15 to cost of flight). I just bring a sandwich or something. The meals are absolute garbage and not even edible. Shitty frozen veggies with no nutrition, a dry 4 oz hunk of what could be chicken, maybe fish, if you are lucky, otherwise it's a ham sandwich the size of slider. Always a shit dessert. Maybe a dinner roll with butter. Lucky if you get some juice or yogurt. They don't even give out peanuts anymore.

I've been in a similar situation, 8+ hour flight but I refused to eat plane food. I will never understand how hams can't go a couple of hours without stuffing their faces

Especially when every airport is stuffed with Beetus 'restaurants'. So you know they just ate, and yet now they want MORE.

I don't eat plane food either, was on a 14hr flight last month and the flight attendant was quite concerned that I wasn't easting anything. But its nasty stuff, high in sugar and salt because otherwise the food tastes bad due to the low cabin pressure.

I know what this thing looks like! It wears shorts and waddles, doesn't it.
