As cultures meet and influence one another, one way they change each other is by influencing food habits and diets. How did Pacific Island diets change after colonization?

Answer:

After colonization, imported foods such as flour, rice, canned goods, and sugary or highly processed foods became more common in Pacific Island diets. In many places, these foods partly replaced traditional diets based on local crops, fish, and other fresh foods. The change has contributed to health problems such as obesity and diabetes.
