Well, science isn't quite sure on what causes people to develop fetishes on the first place. I've read it can be due to early infancy stimuli. Maybe cuddling with teddy bears made we appreciate soft bodies? I remember to be fascinated by weight gain as early as six.
And as to why fat is so looked down on, it's a sociological thing. Before most people had access to high calorie foods, mostly nobles put on weight, what made a plumper figure more desirable. Nowadays, fat is associated with uninformed, poorer or people without self control, therefore indesirable.
I think that is the main reason why fat isn't desirable anymore. That it's associated with being poor, unintelligent and no self descipline makes it less appealing. That said there has been so much emphasis put upon being slim these days that a reaction against such conformity is starting to develop.
There are so many more people on this site than there used to be and a general desire to see girls in particular curvier, that I can see a gradual reversal happenning.
