Really? i'd have to question that... the machine energy system as far as i was aware works on heat..If you stick a fat person in a tight space they are going to sweat like a b1tch and generate a sh1te load of body heat... I say thats good..But then again... THats in the real, so in the matrix you may be fit? :S i donno its possible that there are fat people and you just havent got your blupill slider high enough in options SMILEY

Deus Ex Machina: Right Archie, how do we keep our energy supply high and not at risk?
Architect: Do not call me Archie, for frivilous human names are of no use to me. And to answer your query, I have decided that in order to keep our energy supply in good condition, we should eliminate obese people, for they take up space and are not any use.

That's how it happened..SMILEY

That cop that kicks the door in, in the first scene of the original Matrix, had enjoyed many a Baconator in his day.

Bastard. I was doing just fine not thinking about the scrumptious taste of bacon and charbroiled hamburger, smothered with melted cheese and all the trimmings.

Trust me, there are fat people in the Matrix. We just 'think' ourselves skinny.

Do you think Vinia has Magenta hair in the real? Do you think that the Machines supply her with hair dye? Nah, your RSI is what your mind makes it, doesn't mean that you're gonna look exactly as you are in the real, Neo had much longer hair when he first jacked into the training construct than he did in the real. If you know it's a simulation and you know you can make yourself look better (in any way that you think would make you look better) thats what most people would do. If you don't know it's a simulation (bluepill) then your image will be whatever your mind thinks you should look like...

There are probably lots of larger bluepills out there, they just may not have been seen on film and the MxO peds... well they're walking aren't they... the large bluepills are probably driving the cars... SMILEY

I know I would look better with angel wings and devil horns, but dammit I just can't do it!

Sorry, I felt like playing devil's advocate.

You may think that but does your subconscious? (Should've mentioned that it's probably more to do with subconscious image than what you actually think would look best) Possibly only minor alterations based on character will make themselves evident (like my hair...) SMILEY

Good lord, I think I am having a coronary just looking at that thing SMILEY

Mabey the teal pills are pills that alter your subconscious to think your looks different?

Humanity as a species is to vain to allow their brains to think of themselves as fat. SMILEY
I agree with NightTrace, the RSI's of the Matrix are What the People in the Matrix Visualise themselves to be,  Therefore:Human Vanity prevents the appearence of Fat RSI's in considerable numbers.
