African marriage is union between a man and woman. The union does not have to be officiated by a “government recognized authority”. There are customary procedures that make this commitment legally biding.

A typical honeymoon takes place in the same home the couple gets married. This is the time the bride proves her true African feminine qualities. Her cooking skills will be put to test while the man has to prove himself by eating the food, no excuses whatsoever. Overeating is never a subject at this stage of marriage. Custom requires that the newly wed takes care of the spouse who has never had an opportunity to be fed. It does not take long before the man starts responding to this specialized attention. The body blows up because of the lack of a life style to burn the body fat. The wife now gains neighborhood credit for being a good woman. An African man will proudly look forward to getting married to such a woman.

African men are required by custom to be hard workers. A prospective woman, looking forward to get married has to confirm this requirement. She checks with friends and family members to avoid being disappointed later in marriage. The woman feels more secure if she can physically prove that the man is capable of maintaining her if they were to marry. This now becomes green pasture for the wife after marriage. The man proves to the world of his ability to supply to the wife. Her roll is to settle on supplies by the man. Again, another endless eating which results in the wife developing obesity.

Africans enjoy social gatherings. These could either be family, friends or community related. People will gather and socialize for hours. They may be poor but food is freely grown. Cattle, goats, sheep and chicken are freely raised in the country. This is enough supply for their meat. Parties relax the mind. Consistent feasting ends in causing neighborhood obesity.

Chiefs and other ranking tribal leaders receive gifts from the communities they oversee. The gifts may be partly intended to be in exchange for favors. Poor communities have more of food and rarely have money. This is more food for the chief, resulting in the leader developing obesity.
