Hate to tell you ... 'fat' was in for about 400 years. One can be overweight and still be healthy, and being overweight does not immediately mean you are ugly. Thinness of body usually meant poverty and the weakness of disease and old age. It also suggested spiritual poverty and moral insufficiency.

I worked in the kitchen and bath industry for a couple of years, and a cabinet and countertop installer I knew was overweight. He ate 6-12 eggs with about a pound of bacon every morning for breakfast. Even though he was overweight, his muscle under his outer shell of adipose tissue was immense. His hands were large and like rocks, his muscles were so tough from carrying 10 foot counter tops by himself for years. You try to pick up a 5 foot countertop at home depot and you'll see just how strong he was. He worked out every day just by doing his job.

So, this 'oh my god they are fat' is B.S. Judge people by their character, not their weight or volume.

From the N.Y. Times:
For about 400 years, roughly between 1500 and 1900, bodily weight and volume, for both men and women, had a strong visual appeal. There were variations according to country and century in this standard of good looks, but in general it was considered not only beautiful but natural to look physically substantial. In conventional art, not only refined courtiers but servants and rural laborers were depicted as solidly fleshy, clad in thick clothing, and taking up a good deal of space. Among the desirable qualities of upper‐class elegance, slimness did not figure except as the property of hands, feet or noses, and occasionally the feminine waist all by itself, independent of other proportions. As for bones, they were totally banished from the idealized female nude."

@AtheistInNC Hate to tell you - but you're not being realistic/honest about obesity and longevity.

Having said that...there is some research that suggests being slightly overweight has little/no effect on longevity.

"The prevalence of obesity and overweight in the U.S. has grown markedly in recent decades, and two-thirds of adults are now classified as overweight or obese. In middle aged persons, obesity is linked to important health problems such as early death, diabetes, and physical disability.
