I'm curious if you know anything more about this condition so I can learn about it. If I'm understanding right, it made him seem fat but it wasn't fat, right? Otherwise it seems to break my understating that it's physically impossible to not overeat and yet still get fat
No, he was fat. He probably was overeating for his metabolism, but the issue was he had a really really slow one. I for instance in my youth days could devour two huge burgers, same as a coworker that was 30cm higher than me and extremely muscular, but I was a stick cause my metabolism was fast and with a little bit of excercise (rollerblading to work, 2km one way each day) I kept fit. When hormonal issues pop up you can put on weight incredibly fast. Google hypothyroidism for instance.
Under the fat, you could be extremely fit - for example sumo wrestlers are in the best form of their lives, despite the excessive weight. Sometimes you are just fucked no matter what you do.
Nobody says you can't be fit under the fat, but fat people are overeating - period. The fat itself is a problem, it releases harmful hormones and impedes functionality of the organs it surrounds, not to mention the issues for circulation.
Yeah, okay, whatever you say. I have just given valid health reasons why people get fat and you decide that "fat equals bad" and if someone wanted to they'd lose it. Not how it works when you're sick.
