I just found a link on a forum to an article from Marie Claire magazine where young girls in the country of Mauritania are sent to a camp where they are force fed to extreme obesity, because that is what men in Mauritania find attractive. Click for article.

“I beat the girls, or torture them by squeezing a stick between their toes. I isolate them and tell them that thin women are inferior.”

“No, no, it’s for their own good,” she almost shrieks. “How will these poor girls find a husband if they’re bony and revolting?”

This is nuts!
