Excavated in Catahoyuk in Turkey and thought to be around 8000 years old, this statue is just one amongst a handful that feature similar proportions.
Although there are similar statues across the world, none feature such accurate features as this (pretty sexy statue if you ask me but also in my reckoning, rules this out as a "goddess"), which suggests that it was modelled on a real woman.
Some experts believe that they could be modelled on elderly women in this society who had reached a high status and were no longer required to work, therefore remaining sedentary.
Although perfectly feasible now, many woman have reached such epic proportions whilst remaining sedentary and consuming a diet of tasty and highly processed foods: how could someone become as fat as this whilst eating a neolithic diet without near constant consumption?
This is where my hypothesis comes in which so far experts do not seem to have seriously considered: are we looking at evidence of an early society of "feeders"? To maintain such a body whilst on a Neolithic diet would certainly require constant eating which would likely need to be enabled by the surrounding culture and not just the work of this individual. Could this mean that perhaps this society fed its women, a selection of women or even a single woman in order for them to become as fat as this statue depicts.
Although we may never know, I like to imagine that this is the case. Let's rub one out for these early architects of feederism. Godspeed you you fat loving, Neolithic bastards!
