It doesn't matter, body shape and size is to a significant extend out of people's control and likely complex and multifactorial (genetics, medical, lack of access to right food, SES, rearing, advertising, etc.). This is access to basic transportation and should not be conditional and discriminatory. At the same time there has to be better public policy to prevent and address the obesity issue more systemically.
