Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio co-authors of the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets, interview Viahondjera Musutua, a 23 year old Himba woman in the small village of Okapembambu in northwestern Namibia. The young woman is the mother of three children and bore her first child at age 14. The Himba culture is polygamous and Viahondjera is the second wife of her husband. Like most traditional Himba women, she covers herself from head to toe with an ochre powder, cow butter blend.
