Back when monarchies Llanberis so on was the standard. The people with power and money being fat was a sine of status or power. Because you could afford it and had people to do the work for you. A fat commoner was not as common as it is in todays world.

Historically, sure. But does anyone also agree that there's a new kind of countercultural power to not caring about being thin in the world we live in now?[/quote]

Yes, absolutely! To me my big fat belly represents my power to choose how to live my life, regardless of what “society” thinks I should do.
