Diz is correct. The body weight was done in the early-mid 1900s and has been with the Japanese culture ever since. Even though they are long out of date in some cases because the general population has better lifestyle and food consumption.

Also, the entertainment + arts industries are REALLY keen in promoting an "ideal" unrealistic standard for people (especially females). Fashion... Movies... TV... Note how everyone normally is done up to a surreal level of "beauty". :-/
