Men from this minority ethnic
group, which is predominantly
found in southern Ethiopia, called
Bodie tribe, compete to become
the fattest at an annual ceremony
called Ka’el, which is usually

mixture of cow’s milk and blood
for six months, to fatten up in
the shortest time possible and
this practice is a source of honor
and pride.

tribe now view being fat as
beautiful and a source of
honor.
Women and girls in this tribe also

which pushes a lot of unmarried
men to want to pile up some
pounds.

customs and ethics are relative
to the individual within his own
social context.
 In other words “right or wrong”
