#1 "or body size". I never would of thought body size mattered when breaking the law. Or is this just there way of convinceing people to eat less, than it won't seem so bad they can't afford food.

#2 Plainslow,

In that part of the world, body size was status, ie,

the fatter* one was, the more one was eating, ergo the more cattle one owned. Who owned the most cattle? Why, the chief, of course. Guess it still applies. 21st century thinking at work.

* Cancelled my PC-ness a while back, but I do mean fatter in the nicest possible way, maybe I meant big, or just wide.
