While fatness has been seen as a marker of prestige, prosperity, wealth, fertility, and authority in previous historical eras and in regions of the world characterized by food scarcity, the contemporary United States casts fat bodies as markers of gluttonous lack of self-control, selfishness, burdensomeness, poverty, and greed.	cache/fpq-10836.pdf	txt/fpq-10836.txt
