I went to eat Sunday’s Omo Tuo with some friends today—and I noticed that there were more women than men at the chop bar eating.
So I mentioned that I love the fact that more and more Ghanaian women are eating out.
I eat out more often than I do at home. In fact, each of my wives’ complaints about me is that I’m never at home to eat.
I think cooking takes too much time and energy, when I can order the same food from somewhere for 200 or 500 GH¢.
You’ll find women in the kitchen for four or more hours cooking, just so the man can eat two balls of banku. To me, that’s not an efficient use of time. Just buy these two balls from a restaurant—easy, sometimes cheaper, and more convenient.
Anyway, back to the chop bar.
When I realised there were more women seated there than men, I pointed it out to my friends. And one of them said—this is why more Ghanaian women have pot bellies than the men.
I argued that this wasn’t true. So we spent an hour driving through Spintex and ended up at China Mall—counting the number of women and men with pot bellies.
And I’m afraid to say—my friend seems to be right—more Ghanaian women have larger stomachs compared to the men.
What’s the cause of this?
