As a fat guy, I just object to the characterization of fat guys as more flatulent.

In general, and only in general(as I know skinny guys that eat a ton of food) fat people should fart more often than skinny people. Fat generally implies larger consumption of food, and in particular heavy consumption of sugars and other carbohydrates. Farts are caused by carbs reacting with bacteria in the colon. Since fat people eat more, they are more likely to expel more, and again, carbs in particular. More carbs expelled = more carbs to react with bacteria in the colon = more farts.
