Its Funny how all the people living up in the bush weren't fat, probably because whitey wasn't force feeding them diabetes.

Hmmm perhaps more to do with income and availability of said food perhaps.Waiting on the Family to bank some coin from their job in NZ.
Seen way more obese Polys at Otara market than raro....Per head of population anyways.

Not being Rasist here I kinda cant be anyway being a part poly mongrel crossbreed(Insert the 'Don't call me nigger whitey but I can call a mate nigger rule here lol)....Used to be 120kgs years back family history diabetes kidneys ect all the usual...
Got wise watching my rellys die before making it to 60.Now sit a 80kgs though diet exercise and riding.

Captain Cook introduced pork to the Pacific Islands and Samoa is a major export market for canned corn beef

Thing that gets me is how much it must cost to be that fat. To be so fat that you get diabetes, joints start packing up and need dialysis must take a shit ton of food.

Could buy a good house with the money saved....

Evidently the worst country for Diabetes on a Global scale is ... Tokelau, in the Pacific and north of Fiji.

They have a weight problem. A big one.

The Government there I heard today was discussing the benefits of allowing the re-importation of mutton-flaps and chicken frames to support the local people in their dietary requirements ....

Get yourself down to a South Auckland KFC or M'c D's at feeding time then tell me how many honkies you see forcing the locals to buy and eat super sized plates of fried goodness.

That is an excellent point. The amount of cash paid for enough KFC to feed the entire tribe once could be spent at the super market or local outdoor market for probably 3 nights meals. Unfortunately it is a hell of a lot easier to go through the drive thru than to actually prepare a proper meal. The word lazy comes to mind.

Hmmm I thought the character looked pretty cool.

If that MP stops to think about it for Maui to do all the things the folklore claims he would need to be super strong.

So if she looked to strength sports (not endurance) she would find that they tend to deliberately carry additional fat to assist in lifting. She is thinking he should have a bodybuilder shape like Arnie - those guys pack on weight in their non-stage off-season to allow them to lift heavier weights to gain muscle.

Stupid politician not doing her research. She may need to commission a $200,000 study or something.

Here's some dudes from a strongman contest (they pull islands out of the ocean). Oh shit they look just like that dude in the movie.....

That is a very good photo to illustrate ya point. The midget in the middle is Jay Cuttler. He is a Mr Olympia kind of dude.

Quite often competition Olympic lifters (not that xfit shit!) look like chubba wubbas but actually have little body fat.

I'll broaden that to include Maori and Pacific people - the sort of people who voted in MP Jenny Salesa to represent them. Criticising a Disney movie is low on her constituents list of concerns.

But you make a good point, but I think it was unintended - pacific leaders in the islands seem unconcerned about this movie.
