Kenyan men are losing more weight, unlike their female counterparts who are putting on the pounds to the point of obesity, the  Ministry of Heath (MOH) has revealed.

According to the survey, single men in particular are getting thinner, something the survey attributes to poor eating habits.

True to the MOH ‘s assertion’s, single men in Kenya, especially those in 8am-5pm jobs, are known to survive routinely on one main meal, bread and eggs, casually termed as the “bachelors starter pack” .
