    Because fiber is seen ubiquitously as a means to getting skinny and in shape, through "cleaning" out the colon/bowels of all the waste that's in there.

    I think it's because fiber makes you fell full longer, so people who want to lose weight will emphasize on eating lots of fiber.

    Something like that. People in the UK eat off unrinsed dishes because they have a low-fibre diet (boiled everything until it's mushy). North Americans instead eat green vegetables...
