Ethiopia’s Bodi or Me’en tribe lives in a remote corner of Ethiopia’s Omo Valley, the home to an unusual ritual in which young men are fed with only cow blood and milk for 3-6 months after which they emerge to show off their engorged physiques. During the fattening period, the competitors almost double their weight just to get ready for the fat man competition. On the day of the competition, they will gather at the Bodi King Village and after dancing, they are measured by the elders who will then decide who is the fattest and the winner. The winner is celebrated as a hero for the rest of his life.
