   "Obesity is a risk factor for childbearing. Nobody wants to have sex   
   with fat women."   
      
   Not so, there are cultures which prescribe a bride be as fat as they can   
   possibly be.   
      
   To make it so, they consume as much fattening food as they can, even   
   some of them being forced fed by relatives to that end.   
      
   To be fat for them is a sign of good health and high prospect for many   
   children.
