There was actually a show on the Discovery Channel not too long ago about this in certain tribes in Uganda. The website for the show said:
“For the Hima people of western Uganda, fat is beautiful - at least for women. Men measure a woman's attractiveness by her obesity, and a young woman is prepared for marriage in ways guaranteed to "fatten her up": the least possible activity and the most possible food. By the time of her marriage, the young woman may be so fat that she cannot walk, only waddle. At the wedding, onlookers comment on how beautiful she is, noting with approval the cracks in her skin caused by the fatness and the difficulty with which she walks. Once married, a wife is kept fat by consuming surplus milk from the cowherd - often coerced to do so by her husband long past the point of satiation. The wife leads a life of "leisure" - she is assigned no heavy physical work, rarely leaves home and spends her days in sexual liaisons with a variety of men approved by her husband. These sexual relationships cement economic ones: the obese, conspicuously consuming wife is both a symbol and an instrument of her husband's economic prosperity.”
I personally don't know what it is like, but I imagine it cannot be the most exciting thing ever...
