and if so, who?
Or would you say that term is too harsh to describe ANY human being?

Yep, Sally who lives just down the road, she's a real porker, she's fat like a pig, eats slop, smells like she rolled in the mud a few two many times, her house is literally a pig pen!
But then of course Sally is actually a pig! I've known humans who were worse in many ways, so "fat pig", not a desirable term to level on someone but not a very desirable someone either!

Linguistically speaking, "fat" and "pig" are two separate labels. A person can be fat and not act like a pig, or act like a pig and not be fat. Of course, it's rare for a pig to overeat, unless deliberately fattened by the farmer. Pigs are actually much cleaner than we give them credit for. So the negative label "pig" is actually a misnomer. We use "pig" do describe someone who's messy or gluttonous. We use "fat" to describe obesity or overweight. Many negative -or positive- adjectives can be strung together, but each has its own meaning and description. Almost any label can be taken as berating or harsh if we choose to see it as such. The only way to intelligently discuss such words is to remain unemotional and not automatically see them as derogatory.

I knew a woman at my college who would go to the dining hall and make the biggest and most fattening sandwich imaginable. Then she would make another.
She'd eat a full regular lunch at the dining hall, then go home, eat the first sandwich, and take a nap. The second sandwich would be so that she could eat as soon as she awoke.
She also hates walking and wants to have an electric wheelchair, if she could afford it.
Would I ever call her a fat pig? No, as I am polite.
But I can point to her actions and let you form your own conclusions.

I shouldn't do this but I'm going to.
I took my family to a new buffet restaurant, upon entering the place there was a family at the buffet piling their plates as if they had never eaten before. Let me tell ya they had eaten plenty in their life time. They were huge, sloppy, had terrible table manners and were rude to the waitress.
The worse part was I couldn't stop staring, I have never saw anything like it in my life and hope I never do again.

Fat pig is a very harsh term. After all, God created no junk.

It's disrespectful and degrading to call another human being any sort of hurtful name. That should be learned by the age of 5.
