Funny, because one of the major reasons why The United States has such a high rate of childbirth fatalities (either for the mother, or for the baby dying) is because the moms are so fucking fat they increase many health risks, and for some this leads to death.
The only reason being mildly overweight (not obese, and certainly not morbidly obese) was ever considered appealing (even then it wasn't as widespread as historian rewriters like to believe) is because it indicated that the woman was wealthy enough that she could afford to eat every day. But in a society where food is cheap and plentiful, there's no value advertising that you overeat. It's like trying to sell sand in a desert.
