Recognize the phrase? Well, if you did not you are forgiven. It is common in Tonga, an island in the South Pacific (find Hawaii and trace a line due south.) Tonga has a serious obesity problem. It is not alone. Many of the countries of the South Pacific have significant obesity problems which are producing major stress on their health care system. See the video. It may be a picture of life in the United States in the years to come. By the way, “Kai Mate” means “Eat till you die.” Thanks to our friend who is now in Tonga with the Peace Corps (and a former diabetes researcher) for the local insight.
