There is nothing wrong with being fat. Saying that wealth hoarding is like being fat is calling it normal and good, even if one is too stupid to understand that simple fact.
Obesity isn’t just being chubby. It’s a morbid condition detrimental to joints, spine, liver, heart and other comorbidities. It places a strain both on healthcare systems and on accommodation efforts. It’s in everyone’s interest, including the patient’s, to remedy that issue and help them attain a less unhealthy weight.
You are right that the condition alone doesn’t diminish the worth of the afflicted as people. What makes the financial obesity of our comparison so despicable is that it stems from ravenous gluttony at the expense of others. I could see a point that this qualifier should be spelled out, even though I think it’s implicity clear to most participants from the general context of the discussion.
But obesity as a condition is neither normal nor good, neither for the patient nor for the system obliged to accommodate them.
You’re fat, aren’t you? That’s why you think there’s nothing wrong with blocking all your arteries & suffocating all your internal organs, because it happened so slowly that you’ve become accustomed to it. And you can’t stop eating because you’re insatiable.
Like insatiable billionaires hoarding wealth.
But don’t get confused now, because fatness is not wealth. Fatness is the opposite of wealth. Working hard to eat nutritiously & moderately & getting plenty of daily exercise for a fit hard body that looks great naked is the corporeal manifestation of wealth.

Being obese is not shameful but it is not okay and should be adressed
There is a difference between fat and obese.
