Our modern love-hate relationship with fat dates to antiquity, says a University of Kansas researcher who writes about the cultural history of fat in Western civilization.
Scoop.it!
Evidence from all over the world suggests that men strongly prefer women who have a lot of body fat (roughly 30 percent of their body weight) and whose body fat is distributed in a particular way, with very little in the waist but much more in the hips, buttocks and thighs, producing a small waist-hip ratio. Why have men evolved to prefer such high levels of fat--more than bears settling down to hibernate or whales swimming in frigid waters? And even if it could be explained how more fat makes a better mom, why would it matter where she stored it; what is the message contained in a low waist-hip ratio? So this male preference actually consists of two nested psychological puzzles.
