Below average

    Tonga is an island nation in the South Pacific. Polynesians are known for being extremely obese.
    There are some interesting studies on that, actually. They were early navigators, and known to travel great distances. They settled Hawaii from small canoes.
    It is thought that perhaps Polynesia is so inclined to obesity is that generations of those travels led to selecting for people who were able to put on a lot of body fat easily, and then last a long time off of it slowly over a long journey, to survive very long distances with food. Some very interesting hypotheses in there.
