Back in the old days, how much money you had was acknowledge by how much you weighed. The bigger you were meant you could afford more food so you were considered upper class. Now a days, you are just overweight, amirite?

Strong, fit men were the working class, builder, smith or something

Cleopatra must have had an amazing fitness trainer, huh?

That's still true in some parts of the world

This is more fact than opinion isn't it?

I feel like I've read this before...

Being fat meant you had enough money or power to not have to do anything and having a tan and being muscular meant you were the "minimum wage" guy...
Now things are all turned around. With any luck, fat people will be back on top in a thousand years or so.
