While most people are working themselves up to trim down and burn
some fat, some people are finding getting fat beautiful. There is a
tribe in called Hana Mursi in Omo Valley, Ethiopia, where big is
definitely beautiful. Ethiopian men compete to be the fattest in the
village by drinking a gruesome mixture of cow’s blood and milk while
living in isolation for SIX months in preparation for the Ka’el (New
Year) celebration which takes place in June. After that, the
participants all come forward to show their physiques, they walk around a
sacred tree for hours before the fattest man is chosen and a cow killed
in an attempt to see what the future holds in its blood and entrails
and then the winner is then addressed as a hero for life.
