Eliza - yes, women are predisposed to storing fat. You can rebuild a population with only one or two men, but you need all the women you can get. If a woman won't last a cold winter, then she's no good for breeding! Sorry, but that's the way it is... we're all really just animals.

Like it says in the song - if you've seen more meat on a greasy spoon, she won't keep you warm, get rid of her soon....
