If you want straight to the point, skip to the last sentence. If you want to know why, read the rest. :) Hope this helps.

Let's use a potato as our example of a starchy food, as it's mainly starch.

For humans, it's a potato. We eat it, and like all foods, it is used for energy via consumption.

For a plant, the potato is the root system to an actual plant. That potato is full of starch, which is the storage carbohydrate that plants use to store energy they've built in excess via photosynthesis. Thus, the potato we eat (the starch) is all stored up energy.

Compare that to a human's energy storages, glycogen and fat (mainly fat).

So to save you any more reading, you're eating a ton of energy and if you dont burn it off, it turns to fat eventually and repeatedly, it builds up.

Why is flatulence almost always associated with fat people?

Flatulance is often associated with eating starchy foods. Many fat people tend to overeat and eat a lot of starchy foods which would cause them to produce more gas, resulting in more flatulance. Skinny, medium or obese, people can have flatulance and it can be caused by some foods (such as baked beans, Chili, spicy foods, eggs, beer, etc.) and WE ALL have flatulance to some degree. However, the above poster is correct in saying that obese people can have more flatulance than others because the tend not to exercise as much because of packing the extra weight.

Yes, if the fat people are eating bad foods. No if the fat people are eating healthy foods. Your question is unfair.
