http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6VrzGWCq2I&feature=relatedPlease be educated on this horrible traditional practice that international organizations need to be more aware to help these women. Forced to Be Fat In Mauritania, where big is beautiful and stretch marks are sexy, young girls are brutally force-fed a diet of up to 16,000 calories a day--more than four times that of a male bodybuilder--to prepare them for marriage.
