Why did the overweight person start playing go as a leisure activity?

But he would have chosen a game in which stones are eaten 
He doesn’t have to kill anything if he really wants to reduce!
To clarify, I have nothing against overweight people, reducing is not always the solution (to the health problems it can cause), and killing groups is the best thing about this game
This is questionable.
Best thing about go is balance, for me.
Knowing that excess can be punished.
Managing the right amount of self care and initiative.
Killing a group can be satisfying but keeping the score difference under 5 pts along the entire game is precious. My opinion, of course.
Back to the joke, I think that it’s perfectly working: reduction may be the wrong answer sometimes, but definitely there are many people that want to reduce their weight.
So, playing go trying to reduce is a nice double meaning.
Eating sones, on the other hand, would help increasing weight, so it’s suited for gluttonous people and for those who are skinny.
