It is unfair and wrong to generalize all Hawaiians as being fat. It is wrong is because it is incorrect. It is true that Hawaiian Islanders come from similar stock to the natives of the South Pacific Islands, and these peoples have physiological differences that include a very stocky build. This may be best typified by the Samoans, but can be seen in a number of South Pacific Island peoples. Further, the people of Hawaii are not necessarily "fat" per se, as people in almost all developed countries are averaging weight gains when demographic data are looked at. The people in the U.S. are generally "heavier" than they were in the past, and the issue has grown into one of public health. The CDC now tracks statistics relating to obesity.

How much fat does an average American consume?

About 5000 fat grams is what one American can consume in one day! That is crazy, it deals with fast food restaurants, unable to keep track of what is healthy or not. America needs to make choices. The above number is inaccurate, 5000 fat grams per day is almost unimaginable. 50 grams of fat per day, 500 fat CALORIES, is what the average American consumes in one day. This is horrible unhealthy. less than 20g is ideal. shoot for 10 or less!
