(NYT17) MARADI, Niger -- Feb. 11, 2001 -- NIGER-FAT-WOMEN -- In Niger, as in many other places in Africa, fat is the beauty ideal for women. At one festival, called Hangandi, women of the Djerma ethnic group compete to become the heaviest. They train for the beauty contest by gorging on food, especially millet, and drinking lots of water on the morning before the contest. The heaviest woman is declared the winner and given a prize -- and more food. Women in a hair salon, where the standard of beauty is rotundity, and the talk is about becoming heavier.
