No woman can be too rich or too thin. This saying often attributed to the late Duchess of Windsor embodies much of the odd spirit of our times. Being thin is deemed as such a virtue.
The problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by it. I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes. Consequently, I have been on a diet for the better—or worse—part of my life. Being rich wouldn’ t be bad either, but that won’t happen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land, leaving me millions of dollars.
Where did we go off the track? When did eating butter become a sin, and a little bit of extra flesh unappealing, if not repellent? All religions have certain days when people refrain from eating and excessive eating is one of Christianity’ s seven deadly sins. However, until quite recently, most people had a problem getting enough to eat. In some religious groups, wealth was a symbol of probable salvation and high morals, and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.
Today the opposite is true. We have shifted to thinness as our new mark of virtue. The result is that being fat—or even only somewhat overweight—is bad because it implies a lack of moral strength.
Our obsession with thinness is also fueled by health concerns. It is true that in this country we have more overweight people than ever before, and that in many cases, being overweight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease. These diseases, however, may have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat diets as with excess weight. And the associated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dietary problem—too much fat and a lack of fiber—than a weight problem.

答案
Fatness, which used to be a symbol of fortune and prosperity, nowadays become more like a sin, because people usually associate it with weak moral strength and poor physical condition. And people are more obsessed with thinness. There are both religious reasons and health concerns behind this phenomenon. However, I think people’ s real concern is not being over-weight or too fat, but that we don’t take enough exercises or we fail to eat well. It is quite necessary for us to build strong bones as well as improve heart and lung condition through exercises. We should not always keeping our eye on the weight. Simply being thin is not enough because being thin does not equal being healthy. Neither being too fat nor too thin is good for people’ s health. To keep fit, both healthy diet and regular exercises are needed. For instance, we can eat nutritious food with low calories, have more fresh vegetables and fruits, and go to the gyms at least twice a week, or at least take a walk after dinner. Only in this way can we drive fatness away and keep a slender figure.
