I think the fact that people need to move a lot in ME prevents them from gaining too much fat. (Hobbits are a different matter.)

Merry and Pippin need asterisks next to their names, much like modern baseball players who have used human growth hormones or similar enhancing drugs. Ent droughts, you know...

But Bulroarer Took still counts. He didn't drink no Ent-draughts! Beer's good enough for him!
