Qu Jianlei was eyeing a stall focused primarily on adventure elements.
The stall owner was a rotund middle-aged man, who looked quite down-and-out.
There's nothing wrong with this statement, indeed, Sofia had already mentioned that being fat implies a low standard of living.
Unlike the Garbage Star and Zarif Star, Hope No.2 Star is genuinely abundant in resources.
Here, being fat doesn't signify wealth; nearly everyone has enough to eat, even if law and order aren't particularly great.
In other words, those who don't know how to manage their body shape are the real paupers—perhaps they aren't ignorant, just lack the means to manage it.
Lacking the means includes only eating junk food, having obesity risks that can't be treated, lousy work environments, not having money for fitness, etc...
In this incredibly resource-rich society, not every fat person has potential, but essentially... they're all junk stocks!
