He fished up an entire island, it's not like he was going to be a midget.

Polynesians.
The biggest, strongest race of people on the face of the planet - built for power, not endurance. Jonah and Inga the winga couldn't pass the standard fitness tests.
They got to be that way on a traditional diet which is extremely low in fat.
Then along comes the European with pork, (really high fat) corned beef, KFC etc etc.
With a metabolic system that is designed to extract every available calorie, they are pretty much screwed.

Joseph Parker's so called preference with BK is a joke, it is sponsorship and that's where it stops.....same with the Warriors and Wendy's, actually those adds make the players look bigger twats than they are on the field.

No surprise

I guess my point was that it actually is harder for those guys to control their weight.

So what you're saying is that race is not a 'social construct '?

Erm The Europeans didn't 'come along', the Polies moved towards the foods you mention.

Elements are, Elements aren't - for example the dominance of African descended runners due to the higher prevalence of fast twitch muscles.

Stop blaming their royal fat-ass-ness to Europeans, diet, gene and shit.

Who are they supposed to blame then? Themselves?

Or how Europeans are intellectual dominant due to 'fast twitch' grey matter.
Does your example include South Africans?

'race ' is just another useless word like 'gender '

'Human breed' would be much better.

Oh gee I don't know, maybe John Key? That seems to be the trend these days, yeah?

Is the supposed European intellectual Dominance a pure factor of race or are there some significant cultural factors? China was at one point the pinnacle of Intellectual thought, as was Iran/Persia/Arabian states - which tends to suggest it's more environmental than Genetic.

Yep.....Heard somewhere that ethnic groups that come from areas that before had little or no fruit also suffered when the euros rocked up with new food groups.Seems the thingies (Tech term here lol) inside us that helps process fruitrose is not developed as much in these groups so more sugar in the diet hello Boombooms time.
This same thingie that process sugar also helps process alcohol of course.

Told once about this is how the Aboriginal people get pissed so fast on so little and its hello AA meetings.Not a lot of fruit trees in the outback.
If a Euro guy hits the booze alcoholic styles over time it takes more and more for him to get pissed up.For the Abos when they stop and start again its like having grog for the first time every time and six beers see you wangered.(Yes please).

Sure tinned meat flour bread pasta ect didn't help in poly land but its funny how people think the islands they also think fruit in abundance.
Not on any Bear grills/survivor show I seen or island holiday I had.
Ate fruit in Raro last time you were there?.Chances are it got there by boat or plane from NZ.

Short of fitting a muzzle to people to stop them shoveling fat or sugar laden food into their gob or duct taping them to a treadmill informing them is the best you can do.Why do you think now that a pack of smokes is like $80 and a doz beer $25 that the govt is now making noise about a sugar tax.
Next biggest earner... its got almost fuck all to do with health.....Ever heard of the Aussie Sin Tax?...Brace yourself as the Nats do like to get their ideas from over the ditch.

$2 for a 2.25lt coke or $3.50 for a 2lt milk...Shit like this does not help.

the exciting news in raro last year was the island was getting churros, something else to gorge their fat arses on.

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