It seems that larger asses are an indication of health and intelligence.

I've known some geniuses then.

Meh, who's going to see that church from that angle?

God.

Oh, right.    Still, God probably sees billions of penises a day in the course of watching over us.  The novelty has probably worn off for him by now.

There's also a book out called "Why Women Need Fat" that pretty much says the same stuff.

It looks like having a big butt and wide hips has more advantages than we thought!

A new study by the University of Oxford uncovers evidence that curvaceous women are more intelligent and most resistant to chronic illnesses. According to results, ladies with bigger backsides have lower levels of cholesterol, less heart problems and are less likely to get diabetes.

Scientists at Oxford argue that fat from the lower body produces "hormones that help to better metabolize sugars and other lipids, unlike abdominal fat secretes hormones with the opposite effect."

Professor Konstantinos Manolopoulos, who leads the team at the University of Oxford, says that women with more fat on the buttocks have lower levels of cholesterol and glucose. Having a big butt also favors leptin levels in the female body, leptin is a hormone that is responsible for regulating the weight, and the dinopectina, hormone with anti-inflammatory, vascular-protective and anti-diabetic.

The adipose tissue of the buttocks big traps harmful fatty particles and prevent cardiovascular disease. Other interesting results of these investigations were apparently the children born to women with wider hips are intellectually superior to the children of mothers with "few hips".

Similar studies conducted by the universities of California and Pittsburgh found that women with larger butts, wider hips and  smaller waists may be smarter, too.

  Smells like "fat acceptance" propaganda.

Again, reading things that aren't there.

None of this is really news. It's been known for at least a decade or more than women who carry their weight in their hips, thighs, and butts are healthier than women who carry their weight in their waist. This is just explaining the why of it.

What I find interesting is that your reaction ignores the fact that, in general, women do need to carry more "excess" fat than men do in order to be healthy. Women with less than 20% body fat are considered unhealthy unless they are elite athletes. Even then, they're not likely to be able to carry a child to term unless they gain weight during the pregnancy. Our body fat is what feeds the baby.

Does that excuse women who are 100+ overweight? No, of course not. In general, that's pretty unhealthy. But a woman with 30% body fat isn't going to be as unhealthy as a man with the same. Our bodies process things differently.

This makes a great deal of sense, but it's not exactly what your link said.  It said that bigger butts are healthier, suggesting that everything else being equal, the bigger the butt the better.

I wish der would get a new shtick.

That seems unlikely. I would guess poor article writing rather than poor science.

I mean, a massive amount of body fat isn't healthy no matter where it's held.
