Почему полных людей не любят

Throughout most of human history, calories were relatively scarce and hard to get (and physical activity was unavoidable). Calories per unit of currency spent- whether that unit was time, work, sweat, blood, or dollars - was a valid measure of food value. This is why more food is widely, if not universally, embraced as "better." This is why food and currency are, in fact, equated, as in "earning dough," "being the bread winner," and/or "bringing home the bacon."

In a clan struggling for sustenance, think about what obesity would represent: the inequitable distribution of calories. One person getting more than their share -- and thus, potentially leaving less for the others. The rest of the clan would look on and see in obesity ... a threat to their survival.
