Salesa calls Mauis depiction obese, and thinks children might get the wrong message about their bodies. The environment our kids grow up in and what they are exposed to have a role to play.

One of the reasons that Polynesians were able to successfully radiate throughout the Pacific is a predisposition for large bodies. The ability to store fat that could be relied on during long voyages is at least partially responsible for the ability to travel the long distances, and the survivors (and the “root-stock” for the various populations) and their large size is evidence.
