Eh, skinny is fashionable.

My mother wrote a college paper looking at art thru the ages, where in times and cultures experience times of plenty, a slimmer figure was held as beautiful, but in eras of poverty and famine, larger figures became more common in art.

She reasoned in hard times, being larger meant one would be considered more well off, more access to resources, and would be held as more desirable in general.

I’ll have to see if she still has that lying around somewhere.
