Are you implying that people are born with their desire to lust after skinny, non-overweight people?
I think people certainly base their desires on what is force fed to them through the various forms of media. There are cultures where heavier people are desirable, whereas in America it is the opposite. Why is that?
I think it has a lot to do with what's on TV, because people often rely on television to determine what society wants and accepts on the whole.
I suspect that if a child was raised in an environment that made overweight people beautiful and desirable, then they would have a pretty high chance of desiring a person of similiar build themself.
Also, in your post you say:
