Why don't we consider fat people attractive?

Back in the day, fat was associated with wealth and royalty. It was like 'If you are wealthy, you can eat good." Even in the Bible, a fat person was considered a blessing and earned favor.

I dunno where folks think fat is whack these days.

natural selection changed? it no longer favoured the fat as food in most countries are vastly available?

That's a possiblity, but lookie here:

That's a newspaper article from a few years back.

 link doesn't work.

 

Also, I don't believe MOST people (i mean the majority, fetishes don't count), don't consider super skinny (like starved children) as a desirable trend. I believe now that people favour the lean and healthy type.

Fat is now associated with unhealthy, and therefore not 'attractive'.
