My older bruv always walked about wearing only tiny (1980's) shorts during the summer outdoors, he had a big belly but was proud of it saying it was a sign of prosperity. I always thought it a sign of gluttony.

"At their biannual club gatherings the men would eat from sunrise to sunset, with athletic competitions of leap-frog contests, broad jumps, and races in between their multiple-course meals, according to an Upper Valley Life Magazine excerpt cited by NPR."
"One nine-course menu included oyster cocktail, cream of chicken soup, boiled snapper, fillet of beef with mushrooms, roast chicken, roast suckling pig, shrimp salad, steamed fruit pudding with brandy sauce, assorted cakes, cheese and ice cream followed by coffee and cigars," author Polly Tafrate wrote for Upper Valley Life Magazine. "The evening was laced with large portions of wit, sarcasm and roaring laughter."Ok Ok, I've read enough, how do I sign up ?...
