Answers:

As humans are in love with their own human form. The idea of it being hidden by fat repulses them!

Your pre-disposition to inherit such things as heart disease or type II diabetes, through genetic ancestory can play an important factor as to whether you may be lucky & get away physically with being too fat or not. The fat that covers the body & internal organs can be removed surgically. But it's in efect pointless if the person can't be cured through drugs or psychological help. As they may just put the weight back on. What may start out as indulgence in food, can also become a physical dependance upon it. Resulting in withdrawal symptoms, if reduced. The likes of which may be as bad as some drug addicts suffer in rehabilitation. Drugs can sometimes help, if they seek help.

Being too skinny is unfortunately more desired by most people. But technically it may actually be worse for women, if they are not genetically susceptible to conditions asociated with being overweight .

Though heart attack etc is used as an excuse to not become fat. If very skinny you may have just as much chance of getting them. Many skinny people are less likely to be getting the vitamins etc. they need. So could develop severe problems, long term or permanent ones. Though if they have common sense they can take vitamins etc in supplement form. Though even some suplements may need to be taken with a small amount of fat to help them be absorbed properly. They may not want to take in enough essential fatty acids, omega 3 & 6 etc, which they should be getting. They may use low fat protein supplements too. But some ignorant skinny people may be unaware a certain amount of fat is essential to carry out basic bodily functions properly. I personally have friends who are very skinny, they have suffered many miscarriages as a direct result of not eating enough. Physically a persons body if too skinny, due to not eating enough, may actually reject food once it is re-introduced to them. Expelling it quickly either as vomit or diarrhoea, involuntarily.

Society is fickle. They can't see the damage super skinny models do interaly to themself. They just see the apearance of the person on the outside, which may seem very pleasing to them. Being skinny may pander to a sense of it being some sort of beautiful novelty. As humans mainly judge with their eyes first, being too skinny is often accepted easier. Those who are fat are often seen as being lazy, weak, unmotivated etc. These may actually be involuntary symptoms due to their condition. It can all too often be seen as being a psychological problem, when it can actually be an involuntary physical dependence.
