In Ethiopia, men have to fatten up because men with more weight are more attractive and charismatic. This tradition has been around for a long time and takes a lot of effort. Usually, people who want to fatten up eat as much food as possible. As for the men there, they eat a mixture of cow's blood and milk, so they get fatter quickly.
