You Fat Folks.....Pay Attention!
The FAA is on to Fat Folks now.
That should make you in the UK quite happy.....knowing the CAA is but a few years behind the FAA in most areas.
Mind you they only care about Neck Sizes over 17 and some arbitrary Body Mass Index as a screening tool for Sleep Apnea....but in time that will just be the Camel Nose under the Tent knowing how these things go.
Never mind all they had to do is ask about your sleep habits?
Not that anyone would tell them the truth about that either.
Of course everyone tells the whole truth, nothing but the truth to the Flight Surgeon....right?
Everyone gets their Blood Pressure Medication from the Flight Surgeon....right?

Twas not worry.....just lack of money and who would eat those crappy sandwiches the Nigerian Rigs provided!
I will wager the US EMS Operators that utilize Jet Box's and 350's are behind this as they stipulate only Anorexic Pilots need apply for job vacancies.

You went to the wrong rigs, lad: our tucker was cooked for the American crew and a quantum better than the stuff back in Warri. But who went to the Lido to eat anyway?
