What are you reading? I'm a few chapters into pic related, In Search of the Tuareg and its really good so far, its a collection of first person stories from the author during his time in Tuareg areas of Africa from the 1970s-2010s >One of the similarities between the Tuareg and the desert tribes of southern Morocco was the love of fat women. Families put a lot of effort in encouraging their daughters to eat as much as possible. A thin girl shamed the family, especially once they were old enough to marry around the age of 15 >Recently, particularly in big cities, Western fast food joints selling pizzas and burgers had been found to be effective fattening tools. >When eating vast amounts of rich foods didn't have the desired effect, families used modern medication and hormones. According to a local press report, teenage girls were even given cattle-fattening drugs. >Many Tuareg women were so fat they could barely perform household tasks. Even walking was difficult. Previously, this had not been a problem as almost all Tuareg families owned slaves. Nowadays life was less easy and fat women were forced to hire domestic workers, a costly business
