One of the main causes is a cheap, fatty kind of meat - mutton flaps - imported from New Zealand.</p><p>With a stern expression crossing her face, 82-year-old Papiloa Bloomfield Foliaki almost leaps from her seat to show us something she says will help us understand.</p><p>She comes back into the sitting room of her small hotel in Nuku A'Lofa, Tonga's capital, brandishing a large model of an ancient wooden boat.</p><p>"We Tongans rowed here, across thousands and thousands of miles of sea, in boats like these.

By 2004 the figure was 18%. It is now 34% according to the Tongan Health Ministry, though <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190831090727/http://www.undp.org/content/dam/undp/library/MDG/MDG%20Acceleration%20Framework/MAF%20Reports/RBAP/Tonga%20-%20october%2004%20WEB.pdf" class="story-body__link-external">some think the figure could be as high as 40%</a>. </p><p>"There's this whole generation in Tonga that was brought up on mutton flaps," says Sunia Soakai, a health planning officer for the Secretariat of the Pacific Community.</p><p>"Mutton flaps are the discarded parts of the lamb that are not fit for consumption in New Zealand. They were able to dump this stuff on the Pacific countries."</p><p>Tongan fishermen still catch fish by spear, mostly at night, returning well before dawn.</p><p>Customers who want the best of the catch come down to meet them off the boat.

Hand-speared fish is not cheap, and it's only foreign boats that trawl with nets, for a catch that is immediately exported. Some of the hand-caught fish is also sent abroad - there is demand in Hawaii for Tongan speared snapper.</p><p>But even here at the fish market the smell of barbecued meat wafts across the car park. About 50m away, dozens of spits are rotating half-chickens and mutton flaps - from a distance the flaps looks like slabs of unsliced bacon, more fat than meat. The singeing fat gives off a powerful, pungent odour.</p><p>According to Soakai, it's not unusual for a Tongan to eat 1kg of mutton flaps in one sitting. He did so himself in days gone by.</p><p>"Over the years, I got quite big, I probably tipped the scales at 170kg (375lb, 26st 11lb)," he says.</p><figure class="media-landscape no-caption full-width"> <span class="image-and-copyright-container"> <div class="js-delayed-image-load" data-alt="Sunia Soakai" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20190831090727oe_/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/320/cpsprodpb/1219A/production/_87783147_soakai976.jpg" data-width="976" data-height="549"></div> </span> </figure><p>But Soakai eventually changed his ways and shed about 70kg - for three reasons.</p><p>"I have a five-year-old son," he explains. "If I continued my lifestyle I would orphan my son. The second trigger was that I work in the health sector; it became an issue of credibility. And the third - I was diagnosed with diabetes."</p><p>Some scientists believe Tonga's problem is partly down to genetics - that Pacific islanders in the past had to survive long periods without food so their bodies are programmed to cling on to fats.</p><hr class="story-body__line"><h2 class="story-body__crosshead">Find out more</h2><figure class="media-landscape no-caption full-width"> <span class="image-and-copyright-container"> <div class="js-delayed-image-load" data-alt="Diabetes programmes logo - image of woman sitting on bench" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20190831090727oe_/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/320/cpsprodpb/17F27/production/_87778089_diabetes_promo976_549.jpg" data-width="976" data-height="549"></div> </span> </figure><ul class="story-body__unordered-list"> <li class="story-body__list-item">What lies behind the global epidemic in diabetes?

Ministers are authority figures in this deeply religious society and according to Palu, 85% of them are obese, thanks partly to the regular feasts they take part in.</p><p>The obesity epidemic is not solely down to mutton flaps and turkey tails.
