I can't believe your reply Frank. What a great impression you leave of yourself - NOT. I would say that, in societal groups that have great difficulties thrust upon them (in this case, slavery), the larger size indicates a certain amount of prosperity (having enough food to cause weight gain), and thus being attractive. Yes, I know I'm reaching in to anthropological and historical explanations, but remembering our past is our future!
