"Does that mean you think there's some "genetic" (or whatever) predisposition to beauty standards?" This is almost a joke-question. Have you SEEN the statues from ancient Greece? You do realise that their society was nothing like ours and they still admired those standards?

Yes strong men survive better and they also are more admired. Even when men are the bad guys (for example in movies) they are admired for being capable. Also historically obesity was a luxuary. Who except the upper classes would even had the option of being fat as a life choice?

It's kind of the opposite at the moment, don't you think? Being able to eat decent stuff and pay for a gym membership/go hiking, etc. is mostly outside of the milieu of the poor.

I would argue you are correct but not about the poor. The poor seem not to be the ones obese. The ones obese seem to be children of lower middle-class/working class families who are not fat because they eat too much but because parents have too little time and fast food is chosen
