If you don't believe in evolution, I can't help you. If you do, I can think of several reasons why these fetishes would be adaptive:
1. Low birth weight babies are more likely to die in childhood. Larger women are unlikely to have low birth weight babies, even in times of food shortages. In many scenarios, men attracted to such women (FAs) would be more likely to reproduce.
2. In some societies, it may be difficult or even impossible to become overweight except for powerful men. Women attracted to such men (and their children) would have reproductive advantages.
3. In The World Until Yesterday: What Can We Learn from Traditional Societies? Jared Diamond describes traditional societies that go through cycles of food shortages and food surpluses. They gorge during the times of plenty to gain weight to help them get through the lean times. Feedism would be adaptive in such societies as it would encourage that behaviour.
Of course, in other societies and scenarios these fetishes are probably maladaptive. Everyone inherits a different genetic mix of these fetishes. Also, in most cases, these tendencies are probably activated (or not) by one's particular experience.
I.e., we're all different!

...or are more people into eating lots and getting fat(ter) these days than ever before? Or are they just more open about it?

Yeah, that's pretty much how I feel. The feeder's job is mainly to help her be as gluttonous and lazy as she wants and to feel good about it.

Has anyone here gained intentionally and hit a weight point they couldn't gain past?
On the one hand it could be frustrating, because you might not be able to get as big as you wanted.
On the other hand, it might be nice because you could eat all you want and not have to worry about getting TOO big.
If this has happened to you: 1) what weight did you hit that you couldn't get past? 2) How much did you gain on purpose before you hit that point? 3) Are you happy with the results?

I recently hit 351, I have a BMI that puts me into the super morbidly.obese at 50.4. I measure a full 60 inches around the middle. For me, it was only this week I started to feel huge. Loss of breath, clothes not buttoning. I also require larger and larger portions just to keep from feeling starved.
I can't tell if you're complaining or bragging.
