    They’re pretty shitty vegans

      If everyone went to a vegan restaurant at the same time there would be 52,631.6 people there.

        I thought they were big on pork, much like other pacific island nations. But also with the history of Asian immigrants and agriculture, I would think soy and soy based products would also be readily available.
