Photos: 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.
