The most amazing thing i have never seen in my life?

Question

My work is associated with east African countries, mostly Kenya and Ethiopia.
I just got back from Ethiopia with the weirdest encounter of my life, which changed my previous sympathy for the country.
It all started with me and my co-worker as we visited the Lake Tana that’s the origin of Nile River in Ethiopia. There on the lake were these poor Ethiopians trying to fish while we sow one man dropping bunch of fishes, crabs, shrimps and lobsters, etc..back to the lake, I asked him why he was doing that, he looked at me with surprise and asked with broken English what else he could do with them. I told him why couldn’t he eat them or give them to other people, he shouted out, how people could eat such things and left immediately. We were both so surprise, imagine how shrimps and crabs can’t be eaten and the weird part is, they are Ethiopians always suffering with hunger and famine.
After we encounter this we tried to show to the local people how to eat, shrimps, crabs and different kinds of fish as they only eat one type of fish , we cooked and tried to give them to taste, some of them were actually vomiting for just watching us eat and none of them dare to try, my friend was laughing at their stupidity but I was actually offended and the worst part is not just sea foods that they don’t know how to eat, we found out there are many types vegetables that they don’t know how to eat specially mushroom they call it “ umbrella of hyena” and children play with is everywhere on the street , but no one use them as food, my general encounter is that poverty is both mental and physical in Ethiopia and they are the poorest and the most proudest people I have ever seen.
Can you imagine, they think eating pork is disobeying God?
Anyway Kenya is relatively better, actually they are growing economically better than Ethiopians, and they know mushrooms, sea foods and pork are for food. My friend and I now working on project to teach Ethiopians what to eat hopefully we can get somewhere, anyone who read this can give me idea to include in the project

I am posting this again & again because I haven’t really got good idea for my project

Answer 1

Did you meet any "hot" women over there???

Answer 2

Many religious rules are not logical. Being based on faith, they don't need to be.

We have our own prejudices and biases. Though many insects are very nutritious, not many westerners would consider doing so.

It is a shame, but these things do exist. Long term, those that can change and adapt will florish.

Answer 3

They probably avoid those foods because of religious beliefs, not because they dont know how to prepare them. A lot of people would starve to death, even let their children starve, before they would eat food that their religion deems off limits. There is nothing you can do about it.

Answer 4

maybe.. u should just tell them..lol make posters or a power point or like a movie type thingy... and say what types of food u need and a food pyrimade. and if u eat health than will live longer .. and be more healthy.... so yea. and what f u bring seeds and plant and grow it..like give ech person one seed.. and they could eat a carrot :)

Answer 5

solid for you for doing such selfless paintings, and for attempting to coach about fit for human consumption meals. per chance bypass to the leaders or non secular advisers of the communities and attempt to furnish them the documents you understand re the nourishment and solid style of those meals. in case you are able to convince them, per chance they could then re-prepare the hot values. lots of success.

Answer 6

i think if they were starving they would hhave eaten anything; they wanted money
