Fat people are not automatically dumb. There are many flabby 250 pounders these days who are intelligent people. There are fat attorneys, fat scientists, fat professors. They can't say no to a piece of pie after dinner, and they resort to McDonald's and chocolate bars for sustenance more often than they should. But some mechanism keeps them from becoming 300, 350, 400, 500 pounders, and some of that mechanism is basic intelligence.
I have yet to see an intellectual deathfatty. Virgie Tovar comes closest, and she writes at a 7th grade reading level (not an exaggeration, but an accurate appraisal). When someone like her sets the bar, you know you are dealing with a cohort of abject dummies.
Most deathfatties, including Amberlynn and Becky, Jen, and Amy are woefully and quite obviously stupid; none display the intelligence one cultivates in high school, and all appear stunted intellectually and developmentally. The ones who aren't this profoundly dumb are on the dull side normal at best.
Chantal is no exception to this rule. She is a poor reader, a poor speller, a poor writer. She doesn't have a firm grasp of grammar, and paragraph breaks are unknown to her. She remains ignorant of the most basic of facts (true examples: she thinks there is weather on the moon, she has never heard of Palestine, she thinks deja vu is paranormal activity, and she thinks Yankee is a racist term; there are hundreds of others, someday I should compile a book, The Words and Wisdom of Clotso Sarault.) She has absolutely zero critical reasoning skills (of which the Ghost Doc was merely a memorable but far from isolated example). There literally are dogs who could outwit her on critical reasoning tests, and I'm not kidding (she is exceptionally poor at cause and effect). She is incompetent with basic arithmetic. She has difficulty comprehending what other people say to her. She lacks any one-dimensional skill like being a good drummer or knowing how to crochet. She purposely discards information that does not suit her gluttonous purpose in life, and invents a simplistic, childlike view of reality. She has no originality, and steals (bad) ideas from others.
I would say that only Amy is dumber than Chantal among the deathfats on this site. Amy is legit dull; not retarded, but somewhere in the 80's in IQ. So beating her out in the brains department is no feather in the cap.
What is amusing about watching dum dums like Chantal pretend to be smart is how much they obviously are too dumb to even understand the concept of intelligence. They are literally too dumb to know what it feels like to be smart. They tend to have a very negative view of other people (Chantal is a raging misanthrope), and especially dislike intelligent people (they are often the first to say "a college degree doesn't mean anything", which is something only people without college degrees assert). To them, intelligence is like a parlor trick people put on as a charade in order to feel superior to others. It is something one can easily fake, and people who seem intelligent are really just fakers. If you are ignorant of health, for example, all you need to do to sound like an expert is to toss a few words like "hydrate" into your vocabulary. Automatically, you seem intelligent, no degree (even from high school) required!
What such idiots fail to understand is that intelligence is not about using big words. Because they think intelligence is just a put-on or trick, they fail to understand that people who actually are intelligent and have critical reasoning skills can see right through them. One harmonious balance in the universe is that smart people can convincingly pretend to be dumb (harder than it sounds, though), but dumb people can never convincingly pretend to be smart. Because smart people actually listen to and understand what they are saying, they know when something is just ignorant mouthings. Chantal lacks this ability too, like all dumb people do.
How did she get over 400 pounds? Not by being intelligent, that's for sure. A good rule of thumb that I have yet to see disproven is that intelligent people never become deathfats, and deathfats are never intelligent people. The evidence is out there.
TL; DR- Clotso can insist she is a brainiac until the cows come home, but it doesn't make her any smarter than dumb.
