Like I said, I’m not inherently disagreeing on the impact of diet. This is a much more honest comparison because (I’m assuming) no-one is selectively breeding Samoans to be overweight. Total calories consumed and ease of access to those calories does till factor in though. There were no supermarkets 150 years ago so it’s highly likely that total calories consumed would have been lower and ease of accessing those calories much harder.

Actually Samoa and other pacific islands were “tropical paradises” ; food was plentiful and easily available. I know it’s hard to understand that eating lots of calories does not cause obesity.
