A long time ago, the rounded female form was considered very sexy...as it was also in ancient times. That was due to the fact that they were considered good child bearers. Also that they had enough to eat, so hence were a bit wealthy.
Since the 1960's when Twiggy came on the scene, the anorexic/bulemic body shape has taken the limelight. For those that think overweight is unhealthy, consider this..
Anorexia leads to heart failure, loss of menstrual cycles, hair loss, and kidney failure. Bulimia does the same, but add in esophageal ulceration, and teeth deterioration, from vomiting on purpose.
This body issue has seriously affected the young women (and men, now!) for the last 30-40 years and doesn't show a sign of stopping because everyone wants to look like the models on tv and magazines. But seriously take a look at those women...most look like something from a concentration camp..all bones and jutted angles with bad skin color.
Yes, obesity does have bad health issues attached to it, but those are not done purposely to gain a "look". Anorexia and bulimia, are. Read up on how models, actresses and dancers stave themselves because the agency says they are "too fat"..when they are borderline dead to begin with.
Most men I know prefer to have someone they can hug and not feel like they are hugging a skin covered skeleton..they prefer curves and something they can actually hold on to.
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
--Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)
