It amazes me that a few hundred years ago in England, being a woman with a "little meat on your bones" meant that he or she was apart of the elite society and also able to supply food in your tummy each night.

Another note is that for several years before colonization started and people were travelling to other parts of the world for exploratioin and food from....(you figure) would carry a small object out of clay, stone or some other material in the shape of http://www.mama.org/vaults/ goddess/graphics/willen02.j pg
Willendorf or Willow Goddess is what some call it. To resmble their original mother or homeland. 

Another note that I ran across on how we as human beings percieve the human body, is that when the Greeks took over Egypt and noticed the heiroglyphics and how all paintings had a set view on how the body was percived (thin). Once the Greeks took over Egypt and started to spread their ruling, they continued to use the image that the Egyptians used on their heiroglyphics. A thin man or woman. This is something I saw in a documentary on The Discovery Channel....just a thought.
