We don't need to have massive amounts of people starving to fulfill some ... "theoretical" need to have opposition to obesity!
You can prove this pretty simply. Just give all those people food and they'll stop starving. Stop force feeding ducks to make foie gras (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force-feeding#cite_ref-14) and start giving that food to starving humans. Stop feeding your dog and send the Alpo to Africa and one less person will starve. Anything. Just give them food. Starving masses are not a necessity, not a necessary part of life, not something people should (tearfully or not) accept.
It won't cause a rip in the fabric of space-time or something. We'll also still be able to recognize who is fat.
