I was watching a National Geographic show some years ago. It was some island tribe, I think. The women were big but hardworking. The more fat a woman had, the more the bride's family could ask for in the bride price.
No rude answers. If you don't know, don't answer. This is a serious question.

In many African countries they think that skinny women are ugly. I watched a show on DiscoveryTimes yesterday called Fat Fiancees. Very interesting, they were talking about a couple in Uganda.

In Nigeria they have fattening rooms in order for the bride/wife to plump up as it is considered more attractive.
You will see this especially in third world countries where there is not as much to eat and therefore it represents those who have enough to eat.
