Fatness in the 18th and 19th Centuries was seen as a GOOD thing, it meant you were successful enough in life to be able to afford to eat to excess.... and was almost always the purview of the wealthy, poor people COULDN'T afford to be fat, they were at work most of the time...
Once again, SJWism makes up history out of whole cloth to support it's narrative, the only question I have is if it's deliberate or laziness.
True!
If you look at Renoir's nude women (1800's) or the Coca-Cola girl ads from the early 1900's, the women aren't hugely obese, but they do have a little extra. Like 150-160 pounds at 5'4 or so. This was healthy, and associated with being well off. The men who were the big lumber and oil barons were often pictured as heavy-set men. It's strange how it was completely turned upside-down in just 50 or 60 years.
