So, if you put on weight, and got very fat, it was seen as a status symbol. You obviously had money to maintain that weight... So it was pretty cool..

These days, being skinny and in shape is the same. You need money and time to work out at the gym, take supplements and eat healthy nutritious food... Thats why most people who cant afford much, eat cheap crap and get obese...

Well we all know that everything goes in cycles and circles, and so my question is: How long until being over 350 Lbs will be considered 'sweet' and I can actually get myself a girlfriend?
