Fat people are associated with wealth, and that's why fat shaming is anti-capitalist.

Obviously.

No, I think the blooming is just getting started.

Nope
Now they're just associated with laziness which is anti-capitalist, so fat shaming is in fact pro-capitalist

This. Being fat is a low-class thing today, by the way.

If you were fat you were either rich or a monk. Few people would have had the balls to comment on Henry's weight at the time.

I wonder what the Greeks and Romans thought of fats. Maybe it's just the sculptures but I have an inclination they'd be harsher than the rest of Europe.

Yes.

Roughly 3/4 of American are fat or obese.

Fat and obesity is spreading to all nations. Even east asian countries are getting some, but lot less than other countries.

Did they even have any?

Fatness was associated with wealth, but it was still considered disgusting and shameful, an indication of laziness and gluttony. Henry VIII was a sports lover in his youth, and he quite disliked becoming fat with age, which is why he wore dissimulating clothes and everyone started doing the same to make him less conspicuous.

They considered obesity a vice. Lucullus becoming fat was considered his declaration of retirement from public life ("I stopped caring about myself and how I am publicly perceived").
