DRINKING COW BLOOFAND MILK!! See Why People In This Ethiopian Tribe Drink Cow Blood And Milk!
Oct 26, 2020
Men from the Bodi tribe compete to become the fattest during the new year or Ka'el ceremony. Slim might be in elsewhere, but for Ethiopia's Bodi or Me' en people, bigger is always better. 
The tribe which lives in a remote corner of Ethiopia's Omo Valley is home to an unusual ritual that sees young men gorge on cow's blood and milk to be crowned the fattest man. The Bodi people are neighbors to the Mursi Tribe. Ethiopia is a land of many cultures that have been preserved despite western civilization. 
Along the Lower Omo valley river in Southern Ethiopia lives one of these kinds: the Bodi Tribe. The Bodi people are neighbors to the Mursi Tribe. The Bodi people are agriculturalists who still engage in trade by the barter system. These pastoral people revere their cows. Their cows are so special to them that their blood together with fresh milk is a source of food for these people. 
Rather than kill the cows, they make a hole in one of its veins to get the blood out and close it back with clay. They also use these animals in certain ceremonies. Among the ceremonies is the peculiar new year celebration. At the start of each year [the month of June in the Gregorian calendar], they hold a “Ka’el ceremony” (ceremony of fat men) to mark the new year celebrations.
