We think skinny is beautiful and healthy, whereas fat is painful to look at

That was a terribly biased and pitiful thing to say against being

Regulations for begging were in place which prevented disabled
beggars from revealing such things as a "decrepit arm" on San
Francisco streets. Such "Ugly Laws" were created in hopes of
protecting the delicate sensibilities of well-to-do women taking part
in the common mid- to late-nineteenth century social practice of
promenading.

"Ugly laws" existed not only in Chicago and San Francisco, but also in
Omaha, Nebraska, and Columbus, Ohio. Try to get a copy of number
100[?] of the HARVARD LAW REVIEW. If that's the correct # there is
an article in there including stuff on the ugly laws, some of which are
still
on the books.
