I do believe attraction is in some sense linked to status and cues or perhaps social cues of health

Like having white skin and being fat before the post world War II period was seen as being welfare because you have enough to eat to get fat

And your skin wouldn't be brown or red because you wouldn't have had to work in the fields

In China the generation that grew up under mouth have health problems due to obesity and diabetes because being fat is a status symbol

There are places in Africa were eating KFC is a symbol of power but in the West it's a symbol of poverty
