Are Polynesians really fat? I live in Los Angeles where they essentially do not exist, but I watched an Australian talkshow where a Samoan woman said her people are much fatter on average than white Australians.

Once at Seaworld in San Diego a Samoan tour group was waddling around and I guess these landwales all decided to nap for some reason so they all laid down on the grass and it looked like a field of dead walruses. True story.

NOT POSSIBLE LOL

Being fat is encouraged in Polynesian culture. It's a sign of wealth and prosperity.

Not hard when pretty much everything they cook has coconut cream in it.

Pac Islanders are big-framed to start with, but their diet went from being coconuts, wild grain and some fish to SPAM AND WHITEBREAD literally overnight in the 30s. The cuisine has basically become fat and easy carbs.

Yeah, they typically have a high obesity rate. Nauru is the most overweight country in the world and 40% of its population has type 2 diabetes

They eat fatty cuts of lamb belly that's super cheap because it's all from NZ and they cook using coconut cream and shit.
