Oliver is the creator of Pacific Island Food Revolution, a televised contest in which people compete to create the best dish with ingredients from countries such as Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and Vanuatu.
He said the show aimed to encourage Pacific Island people to eat healthier, more traditional foods and to spice up the tourism industry by getting island restaurants offering tasty local dishes.
Many imported foods that have become popular among Pacific Island people are highly processed and contain large amounts of fat, sugar and salt.
These unhealthy foods caused diseases such as diabetes and were fueling a health crisis among Pacific people, Oliver said.
