will fat man ever be allowed in space?

How is a fat kid supposed to want to be an astronaut if all he sees are fit, trim, strong astronauts?

I saw a fat kid once, I swear to god it was fucked up! He had one of those child leases (like for dogs)! He was probably about 6~ish! He had two ice-cream cones in his hands and didn't want to walk so his parents were pulling him around!
