Why do we think fried people look sexy?

We look at obese and overweight people with disdain and disgust as they shovel food into their mouths. “Don’t they get that this is what’s making them fat?”  “Can’t they just have a little self control?”  “We are going to have to pay for their health problems!”

We look with pure disgust at people who inhale carcinogenic smoke into their lungs.  “They are just asking for cancer.” “Why can’t they just quit?”  People even feel compelled to walk up to a smoker to remind them of how unhealthy their habit is.

As summer sizzles on and I look with amazement at the people who having nothing to do but sit by a swimming pool and bake their skin in the sun, I have to ask myself; “Why do we still find this to be a look we should be going for even though it is clearly not good for you?”  These people aren’t swimming, most aren’t reading a book, many are just lying alone frying themselves.  This is something I have never been able to understand.  I tried it when I was younger and get bored and hot after 15 min.  Why?

I think it’s worth mentioning that during the Renaissance weightier people were found to be attractive. It was a status symbol and anyone who watches a movie from the 50’s can see how smoking was once believed to be glamorous, so I do think that the tan’s time is coming.
