Ironies can also be funny. In your case, one might think that a person who is hungry can pick up a bag of food on the floor and feed themselves. But in your story, the opposite happened: the fat person ended up dying of starvation, which is definitely funny to me. (Yay forThis can be a kind of dark humor!)
