Why are the top 10 countries with the highest obesity rates all Pacific islands?

Is it a genetic thing? I know Pacific islanders can be prone to putting on a lot of size, muscular and otherwise, or is it something to do with the diet in the region, or influence from the West?

Cultural influence of the western diet, genetics, and poverty all play a role in that.

Readily available and cheap food that’s full of high fructose core syrup and other carbs for the poverty part, genetic dispositions, etc.
