As I was setting up my DVR to record something last week, I noticed a program that was to air on the Discovery Channel called "Fat Fiancees". I set it up to record even though I figured it would just be a weight loss reality show, but it turned out to be a documentary about the Bahima tribe of Uganda, who fatten up their women prior to and after marriage. There were a couple of nicely shaped 250-300 lb. happy wives, and lots of comments on gaining and how much more beautiful a fat woman is.
Fair warning - there were quite a few cow comparisons, but they love their cows and it was probably supposed to be flattery. However, one young woman they focused on was pretty much bought to be a wife for 5 cows, so if you watch you have to try not to judge their culture.
At the very least, it was interesting.
