Do Elves ever get fat? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

This is a thing I've been wondering for quite a long time now.

Elves lived rather happily, having feasts and parties. But has there ever been a fat elf? I don't remember reading of such.
So, didn't the elves eat & drink that much, or didn't they just get fat? I must admit the thought of a fat elf is a bit weird, but surely eating must have had some effect on them. Or did Tolkien find the idea of a fat elf unthinkable?
