Semi-nakedness has much more "appeal" or aesthetic value as opposed to total nudity. I remember seeing a 4,500 year old bead mesh dress from Ancient Egypt at the

Most people in Western countries, even poor people, have access to food and aren't forced to eat bushmeat to survive or eat infected animals out of traditional tribal or religious reasons.
