I know for a fact that in certain African cultures, it is traditional for women to eat not only first, but the most food.

Which one?

Slightly??? I don't think I'd be happy if I were starving, on the edge of death or even severely malnourished. That seems pretty damned stressful, not the good kind of stress.

Lard is pig fat. It is not believable that the Islamic Republic of Mauritania (the official name) force feeds pig fat to women. Very 'skewed', I think.

I disagre with the OP. Poverty leads to crime and misery. There is nothing positive about being poor.

African countries can become very wealthy without adopting the soul destroying liberalism and consumering that is ruining Western nations.

A whopping 20,000 pairs were reportedly made for Ivanka's company soon after her father accepted the Republican nomination in August.

Zhang Huarong, who heads the China-based Huajian Group, told AFP that "some manufacturers can't even survive in China any more."

Huarong is building a $1-billion "light industrial city" in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: "My goal is to create 30,000 jobs in Ethiopia by 2020, with exports reaching $1 billion to $1.5 billion."

"Americans say 'a lot of shoes are being made in China.' But it's because the U.S. is worse at making shoes," he explained.

Ivanka's shoe company is moving to Ethiopia and its president vows to create 30,000 jobs in Ethiopia by 2020. Ethiopia is becoming China's China in search for cheaper labour and China may contribute to saving starving children in Africa. Perhaps we should welcome China's economic imperialism which helps spread its wealth around the world.
