If that's accurate, it seems as though they like their "processed" food just about as much as Americans, yet have half the rate of diabetes and 2/3 the rate of obesity. More to it than we know. | |||

Yep, that was an interesting aspect. | |||

They all eat like birds is what's going on. Same with all of Europe. Our large single serving sizes at many American restaurants are like what a whole family would eat in Europe. | |||

There are a lot of genetic factors, and that country is not very diverse. Countries with greater ethnic diversity often have higher disease/death (and crime) rates. | |||

I think it has more to do with quantity than quality. | |||

I'd agree with that. My point is, the whole "processed food is deadly", "sugar is poison" mantra isn't true. Americans just eat too damn much. | |||

This. After hearing all about the healthy euro eating habits, my first visit to a French supermarket was a bit of a let down. It looked just like an average American one, except all the cookies, candy, and chips were in one aisle, and they had an entire aisle for wine. They just don't stuff themselves like we do. _____________________________ 'I'm pretty fly for a white guy'. | |||

Well, processed foods aren't the best and sugar is ok in moderation. I think you implied that though. I agree that portion control is <large> part of our problem with obesity here in America. ____________________________ Yes, Para does appreciate humor. | |||

True but we certainly can eat a lot more calories packed into smaller portions with sugary processed foods. These go to eleven. | |||

Looks more or less like an Icelandic grocery store (no shock there), but, strangely enough, with less variety. Strange because Iceland has like no inhabitants and is an island. The thing about no "fresh" meats is definitely the same; no butchers counters in Iceland. ---------------------------- Chuck Norris put the laughter in "manslaughter" Educating the youth of America, one declension at a time. | |||

Diet is one factor but, activity level is another. Norwegians in-general are pretty active on a daily basis. Cycling at all ages, either for fitness or, just commuting is pretty common, hiking trails are packed all the time..maybe we were in a popular spot when we visited. Winter time, putting on the skinny skis for a cross-country skate around the park isn't all that unusual, like swimming, it's arguably the best all-around activity for full-body workout. One thing I was hoping to hear him comment on was Norway's Taco Friday obsession. It's one of the oddest country-food peculiarities around....surprised the cultural appropriation apologists haven't sounded-off about this outrage. The markets will have 'home taco kits' stacked-up at the end of aisles, kinda like Super Bowl promotions but, this is a weekly thing in Norway. | |||

Maybe it’s Fish Taco Friday? Ummmm... I like fish tacos. -- I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. JALLEN 10/18/18 https://sigforum.com/eve/forum...610094844#7610094844 | |||

I didn't experience the taco thing when I was there, but the one thing I remember from their grocery stores was the bread. There was no pre-sliced bread at all, you picked your loaf, adjusted the slicer to the thickness you wanted, and fed it in yourself. All my coworkers could talk about was the lswsuits if this were commonplace in America. I shall respect you until you open your mouth, from that point on, you must earn it yourself. | |||

We have Aldi's and LIDL here in Manassas. They look a lot like that video. Can't say what it looks like in Germany now as it has been some 20 years since we were back there. I asked my wife the other day if she wanted to go on a visit (she is German and has family there). NOPE!!
