Men, a lot of research shows, are visual creatures. Before they sit down with a woman to scrutinise her personality, they must, first of all, get attracted to her physique. Apparently, most men can’t just resist curvy woman with big, well-rounded posteriors. They unashamedly stare, gawk, drool and even whistle suggestively at the sight of such women. Basically, around here, women are judged on the basis of their beauty, which has a lot to do with how curvy they are. Consequently, in their quest and desire to attract men or to be referred to as ‘true African women’, most Kenyan women have exploited virtually every trick in the book. In their endeavors to fit the bill, without men being any clever, some of the things most of them do can only be described as crazy. Poultry feed So, gentlemen, you’ve probably hugged a woman and wondered why her breath was laced with chicken feed, chick mash, grower mash, layer mash and such like? And the fact that she looked older, yet her mammary glands look firm and ‘shy’ made you wonder, right? And when she began walking away, as you checked out her backside, she looked like she had a diaper on? Well, wonder no more. It is very likely that she is on a special fad diet that has hit town; eating chicken feed to gain curves and big bums! And that diaper like thing is a padded underwear to make her look curvy. Her perky mammary glands could be attributed to a wonder bra! Nelly Mwangi*, a business lady who runs a tours company, confesses that she owes her curvaceous body to poultry feed. “My friend Rita introduced me to chicken feed after she heard about it at her former work place. We started using it, and we have never looked back, the result is this great body you see here (as she boastfully gestures at her broad hips),” Ms Mwangi reveals. Ms Mwangi says they began eating it raw, adding that they both now boost of great bodies, and have introduced other women to it. “We then graduated to eating it like Weetabix; seasoning it with milk and sugar to taste. It tastes great, in fact, just like any other cereal meal, you know!“ Ms Mwangi says, rather enthusiastically. When this writer ask Ms Mwangi why a sophisticated-looking woman of her caliber would eat something “filthy and smelly” such as chicken mash, she chuckled: “It’s all in the name of beauty. My friend, it’s just one of the many things people do for beauty. Try it, and after two or so months report back to me!” Ms Mwangi introduced this writer to her friend Janet Musya* who allegedly used chicken feed to not only gain mass but also a big posterior. Musya, a young lawyer who was recently admitted to the bar, strongly believes in the power of chicken feed. She says she heard about it from her friend (Nelly Mwangi) during a baby shower sometimes back. “It sounded like a joke, in fact, unrealistic just like those quails and their eggs stories you here around. But I still went ahead and gave it a try, seeing as my friend who tickled us with the diet not only had a great bum, but curvy body and attributed it to poultry feed. The first time, I mixed it in flour and used it to make ugali. It didn’t taste as nasty as I initially thought. A couple of weeks down the line, I started noticing some ‘weight’ in the right places, and before long, comments began trickling in from friends,” says the shy Janet. She says that although she has attained her desired figure, she still sprinkles chicken feed on flour she uses to prepare porridge. “The porridge tastes great, I mix it with normal porridge flour, make it light and season it using sugar and lemon,” says Janet. And when asked what their men think about it, they both said their boyfriends have no clue. “My boyfriend doesn’t know I’m on this diet. And even if he gets to know, there is nothing he can do, after all I do all this just for him. I’m so addicted to it, and there is no way I’m going to stop, not even if he confronted me with a court order and a jail term threat,” says Musya.
