A few days later; in a restaurant in Hilo on the Big Island
    Jun: What is this meat on the rice?
    Lisa: It's spam. Hawaiians eat more spam than any other people in the world!
    Jun: Well, it tastes weird. I liked Feather's hemp meat better.
    Lisa: We eat eleven thousand cans of this stuff a day! Here, try some of my poi.
    Jun: Gross. Kind of like congee but nasty.
    Lisa: It's an acquired taste, yes. But it's a staple of the islands.
    Jun: What are those people outside carrying signs about?
    Lisa: I think they're Hawaiian independence activists. Let's look when we're done eating.
