Hibo Posted April 10, 2002 I wonder where this "doctor" got his facts. more than 70% of the Somali population is fat to the extent that their health is compromised? I would be very skeptical of that comment because of all the Somalis I've come in to contact with, maybe approximately 10-20% are obese to the extent that their health might be compromised. Could it be that since Somalis have went abroad, that they are fed properly, or that there was a lack of Qat, which is known to supress the appetite and thus explains why out men are sticks, or it could be McDonalisation. I would be careful of what I read from this "Doctor" and so should you. ------------------ Don't get mad..Just my opinion! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rokko Posted June 25, 2002 The majority of the middle aged Somalis are overweight namean. Brothas have a big belly and the sistas are extreme. Things have changed since we came here. Face it cousins. We are becoming giants by the minute. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
