So i was recently watching Frieren and Edomae Elf, and it got me thinking do elves have the same internal metabolism and nutrient absorption as humans, it certainly has to be different given their physiological systems, slow aging and longevity, thus is it even a possibility for elves to become obese as quickly as humans do with a somewhat fatty food diet ?

Huh, I swear this reads like a Catalano topic, are you his kohai now?

This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement.

No, no. He's not asking anything.
He's putting himself out there, in between wank-sessions, that's all^^

Yeah, they're basically human with pointy ears.

Also Elf san wa Yaserarenai just reminds me of this video:

What difference do you think the slow aging would cause? I can't really think of why that would impact weight gain.

Of course anime elves can become overweight. You should google it sometime. I'm sure you'll find loads of research material. :)

I would imagine it depends from anime to anime.

Some have cannonically stated their diets limit them to foods unlikely to gain weight, others are Elf-san ha Yaserarenai

If I were an anime creator, I wouldn't be able to think about details like my character being an elf and having a different metabolism than humans. I would imagine most of the character's characteristics to be human-like.

Accumulating fat offers advantages from an evolutionary point of view because in periods of food scarcity the body can use the accumulated energy resources, almost all species that survived extinction show this characteristic because probably all species undergo periods of food scarcity. This has a lot to do with the solar system, the earth's revolution, the seasons, the plants and fruits available.
In a solar system with multiple suns where night does not exist there is no period of revolution further away from the star or closer this evolutionary trait may not be necessary.
In the collective imagination, elves are creatures who live in symbiosis with nature, they tend to be health-conscious and obesity, on the other hand, is anything but healthy, entails cardiovascular risks, compromises athletic abilities, becoming easy targets for predators or unsuccessful hunters.
On earth only man can afford to be obese, all other species cannot except for temporary periods such as the bear before hibernation or animals kept by humans at home and zoos.
Therefore even elves can become obese especially if they live a lifestyle similar to that of humans by consuming fatty foods and watching TV all day sitting on the sofa.
