British made Pacific islanders fat by civilising them with fried food
British colonisers turned Pacific islanders into some of the fattest people in the world by trying civilise them with fried food, a study by Oxford University has found.
Islanders on Nauru and the Cook Islands in the Pacific have the highest levels of obesity in the world.
They taught the locals to fry fish rather than eat it raw, and forced them to import unhealthy produce after co-opting farmland for mining.
According to the Ministry of Health, 87 percent of the population in the Cook Islands is obese.
I was stunned by how many fat people were in London/England when I went more than in America imo
That's just London though. Here in the UK our fat/ugly people are concentrated in the capital. The rest of us with our flawless trim bodies live elsewhere.
more than in America imo
