“125 years ago these women would have been considered “healthy” and top models...”

Exactly...
In a world where most people barely survived above starvation diets, obesity was considered a sign of wealth...

Don’t you think that they are a little past being Rubenesque?

I seriously doubt that. These women are obese in any cultural period. Even Rubinesque women were just curvy with pot bellies- this is gross.
