Overweight people and snack food commercials?

B asked:
Why is it that you never see overweight people selling snack/ junk food in commercials? I’m thin and I don’t have a problem with a person being overweight and I don’t discriminate. I have heavy friends. Who’s more likely to buy a soda, candy bar, or a bag of chips at the store? I’m not saying thin people don’t eat these things but full figured folks eat them too, we just never see them in the advertisements. What prompted this question. Is that while I was in the grocery store toady, there was a man behind me in line who was obese. He had a Party Size bag of Lay’s potato chips and a 2 liter Pepsi, which next to him looked like a snack size bag of chips and a 16oz soda.
