Photo: Meet The Ethiopian Men Who Compete To Be The Fattest By Drinking Cow Blood & Milk

For Ethiopia's Bodi or Me'en people, bigger is always better.
According to DailyMail,  the tribe, which lives in a remote corner of Ethiopia's Omo Valley, is home to an unusual ritual which sees young men gorge on cow's blood and milk in a bid to be crowned the fattest man.

Six months after starting the regime, the men emerge to show off their newly engorged physiques and for a winner to be chosen.


The champion fat man is then feted as a hero for the rest of his life.

Bizarre it may sound, See the pictures below

  5. Wow all you people are disgusting, Who are you to judge them? Are they doing anything directly or indirectly to harm you or yours?
    There are many Tribes in Africa that have been introduced the "NEW" ways and have turned them down, These are beautiful pictures.

  6. There is nothing wrong with the pictures themselves. They show a people's who take pride in their culture and their beliefs.

    No one ever says anything negative about the brainwashing that the westernized culture pushes onto the masses on a daily basis. Are you telling me that no one sees anything wrong with the media dressing up young boys and girls and using them as sex objects (subliminally or upfront) to sell their products?

    We have no right to judge anywhere or anyone else on the beliefs and traditions that they are accustomed to. Now I would never in my life agree with drinking animal blood, BUT I also don't agree with the mass production, torture and murder of animals here in North america to supply the grocery stores with "food" that usually ends up being wasted.

    They probably look at the western cultures ways and think that we're the biggest sinners on this planet!!!

  7. Did you yourself witness this? I work with the Dinka in South Sudan who have the same ritual, except no blood. They value their cattle far to highly to kill or harm one for blood. I plan to do more research, I land in Ethiopia tomorrow.

  8. Everyone commenting Rudely on a custom of a tribe is so disrespectful. Trust me, no matter your race or where yuor from, your ancestors were nude, and did all kinds of things you'd be grossed out by now. Just cuz its not your cup of tea, you have no right to judge. YOU judgmental, shallow people disgust ME.
