Why do fat, obese people yawn so much and so insistently? All the fat people I know yawn much more than thinner people.

Extreme obesity causes pressure on the thoracic (chest) organs, including the heart and lungs. This may result in lowered oxygen concentration in the blood, which the brain responds to by causing yawns. Try googling "pickwickian syndrom" for more information.

Its a lack of Oxygen...PERIOD! All these other asses on here that have the question about laziness or food are idiots. I am not obese but my mom is, and take offense to anyone being ignorant about the matter. Anybody could have this problem. It is not just Obese people.

Because we are so frigin' fat that's why. The body needs oxygen and you get more through respiration. A yawn is a form of respiration. We don't exercise in order to increase blood flow and therefore oxygen intake, so we yawn... all the time. I yawn when all I'm doing is watching t.v., my body is telling me to get off my butt and move. This is the truth coming from the only honest fat person I know...me.

Thin people yawn too. i am not obese by any far, but I think it is unfair, and rude to pick on obese people. Some are obese because of medical problems, my sister is one of them.

It's a lack of oxigen in the blood so the body is trying to get it from somewhere.

That's because they lack O2. That's what I am assuming, it could be cause their bodies have to work that much harder, the O2 doesn't go to the brain quick enough

Because their brain needs oxygen, the bigger you are the slower the oxygen flows around your body.
