The same phenomenon can be seen in the Native American population as food became more plentiful for them in a relatively short amount of time. However, as Jason_H already pointed out, in the Pacific, big is beautiful.
But I'm a bit surprised at the Caribbean island nations. I figured that their normal diet would yield little fat, but it could be that their lives have become more sedentary and their diet has backfired on them. |
