Speaking at an environmental conference this week in Cochabamba, Bolivia, (called the World People's Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth) Morales said, in a speech, that chicken ranchers inject female hormones into the fowl, "and because of that, men who consume them have problems being men."
There were thousands in attendance when Morales made the statements.
Even though most Western countries ban hormone injections in chicken already, Morales continued to diagnose chicken eating as the cause of male baldness. "Baldness, which seems normal, is a sickness in Europe," he said. "Almost everyone is bald. And that's because of what they eat."
The Bolivian president pointed to his own shock of thick black hair as proof.
No sign of baldness on his head, Morales said. (and no sign of anything in it apparently)
