The topic made me think about an article I read a while ago. It was about a small country were very fat women considered to be hot, desirable and had better marriage prospects. It's as big of a deal being extremely fat over there as it is being size 0 in western countries. Young girls there are force-fed fat milk with butter and other fattening stuff so that they would gain weight starting around 5 years old. Their mothers tie them up and force food down their throats despite tears and protests. I'm not kidding. Imagine the despair of those ones who are "cursed" with inability to gain weight? Same inability that's considered to be a God's blessing in some other countries.

I was just thinking how this kind of topic would look like in that small country: "Connection between feeling that you are valuable and that you deserve good things and being able to get really fat and beautiful" "Maybe those obese ones were really valued while growing up so they just developed really beautifully?".
