Which is worse, being fat or elderly?

If you had to choose one or the other what would you pick? Does society treat a young fat person better than an old person? Physically would it be worse to be in an old body or a fat one?

    You can lose weight, but you can't get younger.

    I've been 50 lbs. overweight in my life and now I am old. It's hard being young and fat, really hard. It sucks to be old with all your aches and pains and lower energy level, but the humiliation of being fat is worse in my opinion. Somebody could call me old and I wouldn't give a rat's ***. Being called fat is worse.

    I think I would rather be fat, you can always lose weight but you can't have backwards you will stay old.
