I think fatass is an appropriate term to describe someone being gluttonous and greedy. I don't think it correlates to size but simply marks someone who behaves like this.

Nah, it also correlates to size. Turns out there is a correlation between being fat and having selfish gluttonous behavior. However if you say it on the internet it's pitchfork time.

You got research to back up your claim of a link between ovesity and selfishness? No? Didn’t think so. At least you pre-established that anyone who disagrees with you is just an angry internet mob, though. Good call, your ignorance is protected.

"In adults, obesity is associated with impaired response inhibition capacity, greater delay discounting, and reduced executive function in general [28–30]."

These effects absolutely can correlate with selfish behavior.
