In Samoa it is still the same, although men and women do cook now not just men anymore.

Now we know why polynesian people are very tall and well built...the reason is they eat lots and lots of coconuts

Less processed foods, and because of what they don't or haven't eaten, much of, eg grains and legumes, dairy ie milk and cheese, sugar, additives, etc. And their good supply of sunlight's vitamin d (and cholesterol sulfate and d sulfate): health101.org/art_cancer_vitamin_D.htm

[@dvybby]

@@rolfpoelman3486 Its not what they ate. It's what they had to do to get their food. Evolution provided better builds to combat exposure to the elements; they're ancestors foraged for everything. Went into deep waters with flat rafts. Climbed coconut trees. The reason Pacific Islanders have more physical builds is due to the lack of technology their ancestors had.

[@rolfpoelman3486]

@@dvybby It's what they ate. And what is natural for humans, tropical and warm climate. And having to be active when getting their food. And less stress. And less pollution. And community. And an unnatural for human diet of meat. And genes. And ...? And your "they're" is: their. And try to make better educated statements. Less opinions. We all have far too many opinions. And not enough facts. Too many F*C* wits.

[@dvybby]

@@rolfpoelman3486 I have swipe to text so the "they're" was a mistake, that was a much needed correction.. thank you so very much! 🙄 First of all, none of what I said was opinionated. I've studied anthropology for 2 years and I'm a pre-med student at PLU. You literally said, "and having to be active when getting their food" and you mentioned "climate" both of which I alluded to... so you're just restating what I said. Look up "Bergmann's rule and the thrifty genotype" its a journal about the evolution of Polynesians. It literally states "body weights in particular have been strongly affected by the changes associated with modernization" so yes, technology does play a part in how humans have evolved. Is that factual and educated enough for you? Smh

[@dvybby]

I’m a primitive survivalist, have been practicing and sometimes living with the skills for nearly 12 years. I went to Hawaii back in 2014, twice, and went on a walk down a trail (naturally I went off trail) and near a crystal clear and BEAUTIFUL waterfall. I came across a fallen sapling with fibrous inner bark and made a long piece of cordage for a bow-drill kit that did not need splicing. I wonder what species of plant that was. I never did any research on it. I love coconut though, such a useful “plant” or seed as he called it. The North American equivalent in my opinion would be Pine.

The vulnerability of dependence on a crop such as coconuts was illustrated when cyclones in 1990 and 1991 caused considerable damage to tree crops. identified an international niche market for taro, a traditional prestige root crop. The taro exported from Samoa was sold mostly to Samoan and communities In recent years, the government and international aid donors have been promoting agricultural diversification. Although there have been small amounts of other food crops exported (such as bananas

[@marble25]

its neither a seed nor a fruit. its a nut. a coco-nut.

[@Jafmanz]

It is not the largest seed in the world nor is the avocado the second largest. The largest is a palm seed but I do not recall the name but it was on a documentary in 2013 and it was the size of a dinner plate. I think 1,2,3,4 places are all kinds of palms maybe coconut is second or 3rd. to Marble89 technically a coconut is a dry dupe but generally it can be called nut,seed and/or fruit. it is in fact all 3. Just remember when you are eating the white parts from inside the seed/nut/fruit you are eating endosperm! yummy!!!!!!
