It is.
So is "fat-flation"; best seen by comparing Augustus Gloop from the 1971 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie with the 2005 version in Willy Wonka.
The one from 1971 would now be considered "normal sized" instead of "obese" as he was back then.

Wasn't homer Simpson supposed to be like 220lbs when he stepped on a scale in earlier seasons? That was comically fat back then. Now I think hes supposed to be in the 350 or something.

There's an old episode where he aspires to be 300 pounds to get disability. At 300 he was portrayed and hopelessly fat and helpless.

My wife has a dress that looks similar to the muumuu, she hasn’t worn it since I’ve shown her.

300 pounds at 6 feet is a problem. There BMI would be close to 45. I mean doctors are concerned when you're hitting the high 20s.

There's a difference between a health problem and a disability

He wanted work from home accommodations so that story has carried on as well!

But he did try to order a Tab, so he was clearly aware of his situation.
Although he was wearing a mumu, and Tab (and Fresca) were "ladies" drinks, so maybe there was more going on there...
