Hawaiians eat 3 times the per capita rate of other US citizens. It has to do with beef and pork on the hoof being so scarce and expensive for the common folk. Between the pistachio nuts, the Maui Wowee, and the tourist dollars meat on the hoof is a loss-leader. Studied it once in a college geography course. Yupyupyupyupyup. carp
