    I’m Samoan and you hit the nail on the head. Colonization and our genetics definitely play a huge role in why PI health is where it is now. But I think it can be changed but that has to come from changing the mindset and the food culture of the islands. It only took 50ish years for us to get to the state where we are now, and we can reverse course only if the people are willing to do so.

    Hi Joe, great video. I am a kuki (cook islander) and you pretty much hit the nail on the head. Western food has made obesity sky rocket in Rarotonga. You would have noticed when ordering fast food that the potion sizes were very generous as well, which worsens the problem. Our traditional food is still very much alive in raro but a lot of it is not necessarily healthy either, with majority of it containing a lot of high fat ingredients like coconut cream. I’m not sure if you were aware but the Cook Islands do have a sugar tax on all soft drinks like coke, sprite, Fanta etc. So water should definitely not be more expensive.

      Hey "TVNation" and "andreabobbette825", you both make excellent points! This kind of opens up the field to someone else, who might actually want to put in the work for "follow-up" type videos, which would cover the questions as to...WHY this country has the fattest, tallest, thinnest, oldest, healthiest etc. people. But I have to admit, that Joe Fazer's video are quite entertaining. So his videos stand well on their own, or could make great intros to more in-depth and detailed videos as to why these basic facts are true and what is being done to correct them or expand their use, depending on whether the "discovered" fact is a good one or a bad one for people in general.

    Considering the isolation of the island, its also limitations on food supply. Most food is imported from New Zealand, so Rarotonga is reliant on what NZ can supply. Fresh produce is currently limited in NZ due to extreme weather events, so what gets to Raro is also limited. It is the long lasting foods (canned goods, processed foods etc) that can always be sent to the islands and are affordable.

    The ending however left me a bit hungry for more. Usually when looking at problems and issues around the world, it is useful to paint a picture and look at the root of the matter. But, I would also suggest that looking at the various ways that these problems are being fixed, or could hypothetically be tended to now or in the future, it can also be a great way to expand on the already existing content, make a few of your new subscribers happy and keep them coming back your way.

Jesus Christ Died on the Cross for all the sin of the World, and now we can be Forgiven of all of our sins and be washed clean by the Blood of Jesus Christ for our iniquities trespasses... now all you need to do is Repent of all of ur sins (Repent means Change ur Mind turning away from sinful things and being truly sorry with all ur heart, and if you Repent and still go back to sinful things nothing will happend but if you are truly serious Lord will change ur life forever) (example of repenting Father God I ask in Jesus Name please forgive me of all my Sins I acknowledge that im a sinful man/woman I am truly sorry and trust in Jesus that he lived suffered and died on the cross for me and my sins so I can be Forgiven was barried and that you rised him on the 3th day please wash me clean with the blood of Christ make in me a new heart that can love and forgive Lord change my desires change me Lord Jesus come into my life change everything about me make me a new creation fill me with ur HolySpirit...)is what sin is Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of eternal life in our Lord Jesus Christ. and the only way to heaven is Trough Jesus Christ there is no other way! John 14:6 I Am The Way The Truth And The Life No Man cometh to the Father Except Trough Me. and you are saved by Grace Trough Faith not by works, we cannot save urselfs from sin we don't get to go to heaven because
      we don't get to go to heaven because we are a Good People we are not!, we cannot earn ur salvation it is given to us as a Free Gift all we need to do is receive it! Romans 3:23 For All have sinned and Felt Short of the Glory of God. There is none Good but God!, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10: Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

    Hey Joe, as a New Zealander, I can say that even many people (and not just polynesians) living in New Zealand are quite obese. 1/8 of the kids here are obese. And especially if you travel to lower socio-economic neighbourhoods, you can see many, many fast food joints, small takeaway shops, fish and chip shops etc. And I think for them, not having as much money as they would like, it's just easier to get cheaper, quick, albeit oily, fatty and unhealthy foods rather than sitting down at a nice restaurant or buying quality ingredients. It's quite sad to see the situation, but this is what it is.

    brilliant video but one thing I never really understood was how you previously mentioned the obesity not being caused by the food and the food was just like what we had at home, then went on to say that over the past 50 years the island went through stages of westernisation and started having western food like pizza and burgers brought over which contradicts your previous point. great video overall and correct me if im wrong.

      It was alluded that it’s due to lack of variety. The island mostly relies on imported processed food, yes we also have that at home, but at least there are other options like restaurants offering relatively healthier cuisines from different parts of the world, and food preparation is not as prevalent in cook island it seems.

Turns out this is about Raro, I can confirm having lived there for a significant portion of my youth that everything you say here is true, in terms of traditional food, I hope you got to at least try Ika Mata (Raw Fish) while you were there, I'm not sure if you got to have an Umu or not but those are amazing too.

    Hi, I’m Polynesian (from Tahiti, French Polynesia) and as someone else pointed out colonization has a lot do to in it plus our genetics (I’m far from being overweight but my parents are and most of my family are) the thing is: we can’t even fish easily as before in Tahiti because beaches are becoming private properties and we can’t make canoe like before so we need to buy a boat. Then we need to buy all the tools to fish. Tahiti is the most expensive place of France (because yes, we are a group of hundreds islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean but we our nationality is French) everything is very expensive ( a pack of 4 yogurts is around 25-30$ US ) and somehow local foods are also crazily expensive. Fish are expensive, taro, uru, etc…
    So people tend to buy cheaper foods : burgers at McDonald, bread, pasta, mayonnese

    I’m a local here on Rarotonga, and although you did point out some true facts (the causes of death rates, the fact that imported food has made us more on the unhealthy side), Pacific Islanders are just naturally built big; we have always been built big, bigger body frames and all, even before all the junk food was being imported.
    It’s disrespectful to take and post videos of people, especially when you are labeling your video “the fattest country in the world." So insensitive. You also probably did not ask any of these people for their consent to be put on your HUGE platform. Not to mention, half the people you were videoing are TOURISTS. They are not from the Cook Islands and do not live here. Rarotonga is so small, everybody knows everybody. You were also choosing to only interview and film people who were visibly overweight rather than having a variety of perspectives, lowkey making it out that there are ONLY overweight people here.
    You also labeled it the “Cook Islands” when you were only in RAROTONGA, which is only ONE of FIFTEEN islands in the Cook Islands. If you were to actually travel to our other islands you would understand that the majority of our islands are still living off of natural resources.
