That's what I had read (minus the Orientals). Saw a few articles over the last few years with people wringing their hands over how the natives there had been "Forced" into obesity because of McDonald's and KFC and other fast food restaurants in Hawaii.
If only they could have been left alone by modern man and allowed to live in Tiki huts and eat only fish, coconuts, and pineapples. lol
Anyway, it struck me as strange that I've read over and over for years how obese Hawaii is and now it's the LEAST obese.
And the article I linked to said that 50% of the entire population there are obese.
And that makes them the LEAST obese state?
Doesn't sound good for the rest of us does it? lol
