People tend to forget that even without society's pressures, humans will find skinny people more sexually attractive as they are generally more likely to be very healthy (with the exception of those that are anorexic), this is a really primitive reproductive instinct, healthy mate = healthy babies. So even without magazines to tell us that skinny is good, we'd still find skinny more attractive than fat.

Correct... to a degree.
Yes, I agree that people would be genetically attracted to people who are not fat. But I don't think they would necessarily be attracted to
skinny people as a pregnant woman/mother should have about 10-15% body fat (I'm not sure the exact numbers but it's about there). In terms of men it would probably have more to do with musculature and overall body shape than the amount of fat on top of that (within limits, of course).
