I find it fascinating how dynamic our society is. I think advertisements are a good indication of just how things have changed.

This Slim Fast advertisement is rather recent. As we can see the bride has sunk into the cake because of her weight--it is a Slim Fast ad, after all. The caption at the bottom says 'Need to lose a little weight before your wedding?'
On the flipside, in 1895, you may have been taking Lorings Fat-Ten-U food tablets and Corpula to put on some weight before your wedding. Back then, a thin person was regarded as unhealthy and poor and to be plump was a sure sign that you were well off. |

Isn't that something?
