By Brody Levesque (Washington DC) Apr 22 | According to the President of Bolivia, speaking at a conference sponsored by his government tackling issues of global warming and the environment, the president alleges that consumption of chicken causes homosexuality & male pattern baldness. Morales said chicken producers injected fowl with female hormones and insisted that;

"When men eat those chickens they experience deviances in being men."

He told attendees that he only eats non-genetically modified chicken straight from the farm. 

Morales also claimed the diet of many people of European descent can be linked to baldness and early breast growth in girls."

Baldness, which seems normal, is a disease in Europe. Almost everyone is bald, and it's related to the food they eat. 

"Among the indigenous people there are no bald men, because we eat different things," he continued.

Morales's remarks have been criticised by Spain's National Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Transsexuals and Bisexuals, which sent a letter of protest to the Bolivian embassy in Madrid describing the president's remarks as homophobic.

In Buenos Aires the head of an Argentinian homosexual community campaigning organisation, Cesar Cigliutti, said: 

"It's an absurdity to think that eating hormone-containing chicken can change the sexual orientation of a person. By following that reasoning, if we put male hormones in a chicken and we make a homosexual eat it he will transform into a heterosexual."

As chicken producers in Europe, the US and many other countries abandoned the use of hormones in poultry several decades ago, it seems unlikely that President Morale's theories are scientifically possible.

A spokesman for the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland in suburban Washington D. C. declined to comment on Morale's claims.
