My question is, if spider man got fat, would his webbing get thicker (to support his increased weight) and would it smell more than if he had more fruit in his diet. Particularly pineapple which I hear is good for the taste and texture of things you shoot out of your body.
What if Spiderman was really really fat?

For an actual answer, i'd suppose you should look at whether bigger spiders have thicker webs. Although (correct me if im wrong) there's plenty of tarantulas / large spiders that don't live on webs? In which case i'd say spidy wouldn't develop thicker webs.
He'd have to be smart, develop 2 handed swinging / shooting multistrands / fall to his death. / Fall and then fly to safety.

I don't have any input into the debate, but just wanted to say thanks for keeping me entertained at work for the last 10 mins 
I appreciate you took the time to answer, but like a politician you have failed to address the most important question that EVERYONE really wants to know. What does his web smell like.
Hanging around with bats all day, he's more likely to have rabies and when you start displaying symptoms of rabies, it's usually to late and you'll be dead pretty quick.
If he was wearing a wingsuit, sure, but not if he's just moving using the momentum from swinging on his web.

Depends which Spider-man we are talking about. The Amazing Spider-man could just adjust his gadget to shoot out a thicker web.
Ok I lose for commenting further, but...
Flying, if not describing flying in most literal flying like a bird sense, implies movement with great velocity and ease. A runner could fly around a track in record time, or you could say that the runner flew around the track. But you would never say 'the runner can fly' without reference to what he is flying in relation to - flying has too strong of a connotation to flying free in the air. So whilst you could arguably say Spider-Man flies through the city, you could, or rather should, never say Spider-Man flies. And you certainly shouldn't say Spider-Man can fly.
I feel better now.

Thinking about an imaginary superhero in a logical way is painful, as you realise Superman can't fly either really

Bullhonkey. Supes can fly rings around Spiderman.

Don't they put it down to something painfully pseudo-scientific like Earth's mavity is significantly less than Kryptons thus he can fly? Or have I imagined that?
It's not likely to make much sense. If we're bringing superheroes into it just pick any X-Man none of their powers make sense in real life in my opinion.
That's what they say in Man Of Steel. Also, stupidly big boo boo in that film. Superman can breathe in space, but upon entering the space ship, he can't breath properly because the 'atmosphere' is different.

Ahhhh Man of Steel, great movie!
But yeah let's just say I'm not planning to go see any scientific lectures given by the writers any time soon.
