   I notice that you didn't try to name these cultures. There "were" in the   
   past a number of cultures where this was the case, but not nowadays.   
   Nowadays, even in third world countries, medical opinion is relied to   
   determine good health, not fatness. As for childbearing, normal sized   
   healthy women are more likely to fare better as mothers than fat and   
   invariably unhealthy women. Fat has got nothing going for it, it is   
   unattractive and unhealthy. I have heard it claimed that Viagra was   
   invented so that fat women could have sex - it is the only way that a   
   man can get an erection in the presence of a fat woman.
