Part of the minor signs of the last day is that obesity will become widespread as our Prophet (PBUH) prophesied, a phenomena that was unheard off during the time of the Prophet or even 60 years ago.
Narrated Ibn `Umar
Allah's Apostle said, "A believer eats in one intestine (is satisfied with a little food), and a kafir (unbeliever) or a hypocrite eats in seven intestines (eats too much)

We have an Ayah in the Quran that deals with topic.
“and eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (Allaah) likes not Al‑Musrifoon (those who waste by extravagance)”
[al-A’raaf 7:31]
I just came across the following interesting hadith in Bukhari, just take a look who the obese people are being paired with, those that are untrustworthy, betrayers, give false witness etc.
This follows Umar Bin Khattab statement when a fat man praised his big belly as a blessing from Allah and Umar Responded no "it's a curse from Allah"
"The best of you are my generation, then those that follow them and then those that follow them. Then there shall come after them a people who will betray and be untrustworthy, will give witness even though they have not been asked to, will make vows yet will not fulfil them and obesity will appear amongst them." [Bukhari]
I am not surprised at all by this because throughout life the most nastiest, negative, disgusting people I have ever come across were the fat obese types (male or females)
Even in modern science they discovered there is 8 bacteria for every single human cell in the body, and that your gut microbe determines your mood, behaviour and way of thinking (e.g. Taxoplasma parasite in your stomach makes you more violent) I'll post the video of an interesting tedex talk on this subject at the end, this is without even dealing with the insecurity issues as a result of this disease.
This correlates with scholars like Ibn Qayim who dedicated an entire book on this subject, the ill effects of gluttony and how it affects the purity of the heart, mental alertness and deep insight, he writes that satiety generates stupidity and blinds the heart, hence the Arabic proverb "The one whose stomach is hungry will become able to think deeply and his intelligence will be honed"
It also comes as no surprise that in the list of the 10 fattest countries of 2017, 6 Arab countries make this list! Kuwait at number 1, Saudi Arabia at 2, UAE at 6, Qatar at 7, Jordan at 5 and Egypt at 4. No surprises why the most disgusting vile people you find on this earth hail from these places.
