Question 1 :

Answer: A. Hawaii

Spam musubi

If Spam has never ended up in your grocery cart, you might wonder who regularly stocks up on the canned meat. The answer? The people of Hawaii. More Spam is consumed in Hawaii than in any other state. In fact, it's even served as breakfast at McDonald’s. Curiously, before the Anglo-American colonization of the Hawaiian Islands, there was virtually no instances of obesity. But, with the invasion of whalers, Christian mercenaries and plantation owners, many of the very fit Polynesians exploded in weight due to canned meat.
