I'm going to say this no matter what kind of pot gets stirred up. It's time for us to admit that yes, fat is comforting, and yes, fat IS actually attractive, and yes, we're nuts to think otherwise.
If we were living in the wild, not this what *we* call civilization ... which babe would be more attractive? The (a) weak, malnourished, unable to feed her young, elbow-you-in-the-ribs, always cold-and-shivering-all-night-long bone-rack, or (b) the nourishing, voluptuous, supple, creamy-skinned (think, layer of fat glowing under the skin, think, "lit from within") soft, keep-you-warm-at-night maiden ...? Historically speaking I do believe (b) wins out every time. But I'm not slamming us thin people, either. We do have our good qualities, too. I just have to really think about what they are ... we mostly look all right in clothes, but no matter what we're wearing our feet always look too big.
