If you look at ancient drawings or at the magnificent statues lying around ancient Rome, all of the women were drawn or sculpted as pleasantly plump women. This was sign of beauty, wealth, and health. Fifty or sixty years ago, I think that the same applied to society. All of the vintage pin-up girls were plump and they were seen as sex symbols (like Jean Harlow, Marilyn Monroe, Bettie Page). Then why now has it changed so much? How could something that used to be seen as beauty, be now considered "ugly, disgusting, etc."?
