answer: #Person1# tells #Person2# that a book says that men used to like fat women and women used to suffer a lot in some parts of Africa.
documents: #Person1#: This book says that in some parts of Africa, men used to think that very fat women were beautiful. Before a woman married the chief, his servants used to keep her in a special house. Then they fed her all through the day and night for weeks before the wedding.
  #Person2#: Why did the women have this treatment?
  #Person1#: I don't know. The book says they used to consider it an honor to be the wife of the chief. The women used to become so fat that they could not walk. They used to crawl on their hands and knees instead.
  #Person2#: How terrible! I'm sure they wouldn't live for many years. Those women used to suffer a lot because of that custom. I'm glad that they don't do it now.
