This made me think about weight and bodies in a general sense.  Being in shape now is desirable because most people aren't, but back in the old days when being overweight was a sign of wealth people would buy false bums and bellies to look less like the emaciated peasants they were.  I think gout was even seen as a disease of the wonderfully opulent. 

And as far as being fat being acceptable goes, there is apparently a big ol' over the top and toxic and controversial "fat acceptance" thing going on in the pop culture world now.  Of course, they're way behind black women who seemed to just get together and agree decades ago that being thin was a pain in the ass, so they should all just agree being fat as hell was sexy and they stuck with it.

We could all learn a thing about working together from those sassy ones.
