Gotta remember that back when the things that make up the Bible were written, fat people were pretty synonymous with wealth. Hard to get fat when you barely have any food.

Fat ladies were prized possessions as they were a sign of nobility.

That's still the case in many poorer countries.

depends on how poor, there are also a lot of poor countries with obesity problems, because people there can only afford trash like fast food

Sure, but even then, there's often a distinction between being a little chubby (good) and being obese (bad). It's that cultural carry over from when only the wealthy could afford it.

a little chubby is also good in my first world book, I think it's some kind of instinct, since a chubby woman would have no problem nourishing a fetus, even during winter. She also wouldn't have trouble with breast feeding

Moses originally had 3 tablets with the divine Commandments, but broke one in anger. A disciple would later recover a fragment, containing the start of the 13th Commandment: XIII THOU SHALT LIGMA...

Thou shalt ligma what?

There really is a story about him breaking the old laws in anger at the worship of a golden calf and bringing new laws.

Such a coincidence that story happened to parallel the alleged reforms of Josiah who got rid of the golden calf worship in Bethel and Dan while instituting new laws he 'discovered' excavating the temple.

God (or at least his editors) truly do work in mysterious ways
