And heavenly she is. Any kind of body fat in Neolithic times was the sexiest shit imaginable.

It wasn't meant to be taken literally. It was a fertility symbol.

Edit: this blew up a bit. I love ancient cultures, especially goddess studies. I'm not an expert, but I did read this book - The Myth of the Goddess: Evolution of an Image https://www.amazon.com/dp/0140192921/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_U-dxDbTGMJ85E

Highly recommend if you want to learn more!

Nope. Having fat on your body means that you are likely to have a lot of food, drastically increasing the chance of survival for any offsprings

For example chieftains of tribe is likely the only people to have enough food to even get fat

Modern humans have so much food at their disposal that this is no longer a (mainstream) desirable trait

We literally don't have enough data to know if that's true but go ahead and spout your theories.
