Less healthy food is often cheaper than healthy. Do you think people change their ideals of women as women change? Take for example, possibly stars became skinny so we started thinking skinny people were more attractive. Or do you think it dates back to the Middle Ages when the fatter one was the more wealthy they were, thus more attractive? Maybe in poor economic times we are looking for wealthy mates. Of course by "wealthy" I mean more stable, able to support, etc. Do people’s ideals of an attractive women change or do the shapes of women change in poor economic times?
