Idk if someone can confirm this or not, but I feel like our precolonial etipome of beauty would be a fat body. Like muscles are cool to do stuff but the status you must have to not do stuff and still be abundant with food?! Like damn that's sinexy.

I honestly think that because our ancestors lacked saturated fat in their diets in so many ways (we had no meat except fanihi really, coconut oil is the exception), and we did not lead sedentary lifestyles, there is a strong possibility that obesity wasn't a thing.

I could definitely be wrong. This is me spinning what I know about our ancestral diets with daily life. Diets were lots of fish, taro, lemmai, coconut, other veggies. Daily life was different for many but nobody sat around & got served, so idk how anyone could get fat you know?

An active lifestyle definitely supported the diet due to the natural carbohydrates being converted into energy immediately. I really love looking into the Antigu diet. So many fascinating ways to access the vitamins and minerals required to sustain the human body, love nutrition

Badass! There's a few resources to look into antigu diets and how they lived in the past, though I'm sure the MARC has many more. Here's a cool study I found a while back on betelnut and chewing I found fascinating!pic.twitter.com/xP24xxnSX8
