An attractive, wealthy woman from Mauritania
Jessica Simpson has a new reality show on VH1 called Price of Beauty, where she visits other cultures around the world and investigates their definition/idea of what “beauty” is. One trip that had her stunned was when she visited Uganda and discovered “Fattening Huts“, where a bride-to-be goes to “fatten up” before she gets married.
As this HuffPo entry says:
In this Ugandan tribe [Hima], a full figure is considered beautiful. A plump wife is a status symbol and a source of pride for men. If an American man compared you to a cow, you would be quite insulted and likely very upset. The comparison evokes a different response in Uganda. A well fed wife and cow are a sign that you are a wealthy man and it is a compliment.
From Lost in Somewhereistan:
In Hima society, offering a chubby daughter for marriage is a sign of prosperity, wealth… in short, a fat daughter accords high status to her father. Sheila retired to a small fattening hut where for four months, under her grandmother’s watchful eye, she drank gallons of fresh, whole milk every day. She literally had nothing to do other than sleep, drink, and eat…

Jessica Simpson, surprised by all the fatties
In some African countries like Mauritania, girls are force-fed (gavage) from an early age.
In countries where food (and fast food) is scarce, “A fat person represents health, wealth, and ultimately… beauty.”

As for Jessica Simpson, we can see here that last year she was very wealthy and attractive (ok, it’s just a photoshop contest):

… We should all watch this as this woman may be your VP in about 60 days…never underestimate the underdog when it comes to American politics…especially with her made-for-TV story…”SO TRUE – SO TRUEExum you are spot on as wellI am by NO MEANS a Giuliani supporter- but the Repubs really needed a speech like his to light a fire under the party. It was well executed but full of BS. He held my attention better than ANYONE last night.
