Abstract

Art through the ages has been a marker of societal trends and fashion. Obesity is proscribed by physicians and almost reviled by today's society. While Venus (Aphrodite) continues to be the role model for those to aspire to free themselves from the clutches of obesity, Paleolithic humans had a different view of the perfect female form. Whether the Venus of Willendorf was a fashion symbol will be never answered, but the fact is that she remains testimony to the fact that obesity has been with us for several millennia.

摘要

纵观历史，艺术一直是社会潮流和时尚的标志。肥胖受到医生的摒弃，在当今社会几乎遭人唾弃。虽然维纳斯（阿佛洛狄忒）仍然是那些渴望摆脱肥胖束缚的人的榜样，但旧石器时代的人类对完美女性体型有着不同的看法。维伦多夫的维纳斯是否是一个时尚象征永远无法得到答案，但事实是，她仍然证明了肥胖已经伴随我们数千年了。
