I suppose that, in part, beauty is in the eye of the beholder... so if you consider well fed beautiful, then yes.

To my mind, (true) beauty amounts to a person radiating a certain amount of self-love. You can see that this person is not ashamed of her reflection, but rather proud of how she looks and the way she presents herself to the world is very deliberate. Someone who sees herself as sexy is far sexier than someone who may have better 'equipment', but doesn't see herself as being beautiful.

I guess that's what it boils down too: ugly people see themselves as being ugly, beautiful people see themselves as being beautiful.
