Those friendly natives last night haven't missed any meals. I think there is a MickeyD's on the other side of the island :-D

Interesting bit of trivia, most south pacific islanders tend to be big. It is thought that it is because they came to the islands via a long sea voyage. Those with efficient metabolisms survived the trip while the skinny one's starved to death.

Interesting. However, high carb diets may contribute. Tropical fruit is loaded with carbs. In Fiji, the women are almost all quite fat but most Fijian men look like football players. What's with that?
