inflateablefilth: In the western world fat used to be better because it was associated with richness and nobility. In some nations fat is still considered the best body type. I believe a lot of pacific island nations come under this rule. Spend a few minutes googling history and you work this shit out. The 'male brain' in the west is, unfortunately, as programmed as the rest of us from birth to believe skinny is better because of the view of the disabled/lazy/poor and the connection to fatness.
