I have a dog so I walk him twice a day for about an hour each time - whatever kind of weather it is outside. In the winter I use shoes with spikes when it is really slippery. (I am 69 - and I had both my knees changed because of artherisis - much better now). Now I also work out 3 to 6 times a week at the gym - zumba(60 minutes), cardio energy etc - just love it. I teach Norwegian to foreigners and one of my students some years ago had her grandmother visiting from Spain - and she asked where you find the old people in Norway - and she answered "at the gym".
I'm Norwegian, 52 years old. This weekend I spent cutting down fire wood...with an axe. Yesterday I started to clearing out my valley (I have a valley on my property) with a chainsaw, an aze and a machete. Today I'm going to paint a basement floor and go into the woods for some rifle practice. Tomorrow I'm going to the gym. And it's mushroom and berry season...I'll be walking for hours every day. Then there is hunting and fishing and hiking. And my two huskeys needs a lot of walks. And I haven't been eating any candy or fast food for many years. That's why. ;)
I'm one of the few overweight Norwegians. I used to be fairly fit and active, basically your average Norwegian, but due to an accident I became unable to stay active. However, because an active person tend to eat more and I unfortunately wasn't able to adjust my diet fast enough after the accident I ended up putting on quite a few kilos. I've been able to turn it around now though and lost close to 17 kg since then, but it is slow going when you're unable to exercise, lol.
The norwegian cuisine is often boiled food. Traditional norwegian food are mostly boiled, not fried, but we do not only eat traditional dishes, we eat International food too, some people prefer international food recipe. We have many overweight people too, but less than in the US
Hello. I come from Norway. Nature means everything to me, I live in a small village. I have many places nearby where I can go for a walk, some difficult and some easy. the mountain tours are marked with sticks or colored stones so that it is easy to get to the right place in the mountain. the tours often have clear paths. we can google various trips nearby and easily find something in other villages or cities. the cities are easy to walk in, for example Trondheim has a tour called midtbyrunden, this is a walk in the middle of the city. Not least, many of the trips I have nearby have fantastic views of the fjord and mountains, this is a motivation in itself. in the winter we have places nearby where we can go skiing or just walk in the village/city we live in. I am so happy to live in this country and get to spend a lot of time in nature.
I'm fat by norwegian standards, but when i go outside of Norway i feel very thin and healthy. Been on a walk today with my mom. We both need the exercise.
I highly recommend getting barefoot shoes. They have no support so that burden goes to your muscles. You have to pay attention to your body and not only do you strengthen your legs but you feel more comfortable with trusting your body. If you get them start small and just try to walk a little past what you did next time. This was huge for me when i was losing weight. you'd be surprised at how fast you can get better. You stop worrying about feet hurting etc and your balance improves a lot. Just 3 weeks after starting i went to a festival and danced the entire time without having to sit down or worrying about damaging my feet or knees.
Living in Ireland but from Norway and I brought my friend over to Norway to visit One of the first things she said walking through the towns was "Why haven't I seen one overweight person yet??"
I went to Chicago (the windy city) and stopped by a Mc Donalds for lunch one day. I ordered a small burger menu, but what i got was the same as a LARGE menu in Norway...Big difference in size.... But i had a greate time though....
Norwegian 65 year old. Try to take a bike ride every day. But in the winter I notice that I am more lazy and have to force myself to be more active. But it's true, American bread is a nasty mixture of bad air, chemicals and sugar. But I also found several places that had great Salad Tables along the road in Florida. So it was possible to choose better and healthier food if I wanted to.
cut down on soda. any soda since the sugar free is meant for people with diabetes and it's not really good for you either way. make food with more natural products, walk atleast 15000 steps every single day ( 20k might be better ) walk on anything other than asphalt since humans are meant to walk on uneven terrain ( good for your feet ) less stress since stress can affect the body in more ways than just stress eating. food portions needs to be way less than alot of people in america eats ( probably because of what's in the food there ) eat food with less chemicals pumped into the animal ( like less antibiotics and such to " keep it healthy " fresher food is better ( meaning you should either have a garden to get some fresher vegetables or try to get fresh vegetables from a farm/local supplier etc.
Concerning the walking, my father visits my brother in America near annually, and he enjoys his walks. On several occasions while walking along he has been stopped by passing police officers (in cars) who wanted to know if he was okay.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is general knowledge of nutrition. It's part of our culture almost to spread information that will help you make good choices. It's also thought in school. From the outside it looks like Americans are not particularly critical of what they eat or how much.
As a Norwegian, I agree with all of this. Healthy Food, activity and affordable health care. However I just made an observation while on vacation to a place that prides themselves on serving Norways biggest ice cream. We stayed for 10 days and had ice cream 8 of the days 🙈 On day one I and my 3 year old sharing an ice cream, could not even finish 25% of it. But by day 10 we finished it no problem and could have even had more. Now after a few days back home the whole family gets sugar cravings at the same time every day!
I am not what you would consider a sporty individual here in norway. I hate running and feeling exhausted. I am not super skinny, but when looking at so many other .. especially Americans, my own age. I am still perfectly healthy. I have talked to my friend who lives around Appalachia. and we have had big conversations about this. She struggles with health, a lot of it is not her or her diets fault, a lot of it is genetic. Her Thyroid is ruined, but the doctors refuse to remove before it develops cancer, which is will, even they said it, they are just waiting for her to develop cancer there. BUT she said she has spent so much of her life trying to be healthy, and even just finding the correct information of whats good for you is challenging in the US, because what is promoted to you as healthy is often what s most profitable to producers of product, like expensive health bars that is honestly not even that healthy are pushed forwards instead of veggies and a varied diet. I eat seafood at least once a week, I don't own a car at all, so I do walk or take public transport, which do demand some walking to. eat white bread only with shrimp and lemon during the summer, I eat veggies every single day. That to me is considered just how I live, not even 'healthy'. But even that in the US wouldn't work, because the bread there is added so much bull, the veggies are full of chemicals to force them to grow bigger and faster (which also causes them to be less nutritious and mostly just full of water that makes their size) and the meat and dairy is full of steroids and seafood is usually shit quality. It is not the fault of the general American, their system and country is literally setting them up for failure unless you are rich enough to buy only organic and buy specialty.
I live about 4 km outside Trondheim, Norway and i don't have a car. It's about 2km to work. I walk, juse my bike or take public transport. Always walking to work 😊 And i workout outside and i go to the gym ❤
I lived in Oslo for a year. Food was expensive so you didn't spend too much on it. eating out in Norway is relatively healthy if you eat kebab or something, it's a lot of sallad. :D During my year in Oslo I don't think I ever saw an obese person. a little chub here and there but nobody that looked completely unhealthy. I was probably the fattest guy in Oslo during that time. haha
f I go to the grocery store, unless the rain is pouring down or I'm going to buy a whole lot, I never take my car, and that's a 4 km walk right there (2.5 miles). I walk to work, I walk to the barber, I walk to the dentist, I walk to the doctor's office, I walk to friends, I walk to the cinema, I walk to the shopping mall and so on. I mainly use my car if I want to go for a drive, or visiting family in other towns (which is like 2-3 hour drives)- And also for car trips around Europe :) So basically we get free exercise doing normal day-to-day activities.
It's all the ultra processed foods in America. I mean, even the bread over there is gross. I love America and have been there twice, but I really missed Norwegian bread when travelling. They do have a lot of nice, fresh produce and plant based goods in shops like Whole Foods, though. I wished we hade Whole Foods here in Norway. We also walk a lot, most people prefer to walk than drive. And we have a lot of nice bicyle-roads.
Sadfact that no one thinks about regarding walking and cycling is that in big cities the air quality ie exhaust causes big lung issues over time. There is a reason why asthma is very normal in big cities. Especially Oslo in the winter time is extreme. From above you actually see a lid of "dirty air" over the town as Oslo lies in a kettle like area. This is of course a much bigger problem in massive cities. Take Tokyo forinstance, they use masks all the time
Also, scandi kids might be out in the forest or mountains or whatever for hours and hours every day all year round.. you play outside a lot. From 10 in the morning to 18.00 in the evening, and if its summer you're outside again for another 2-3 hours depending on where you live and what kind of parents you got. I was.neber inside as a kid in the 70s and 80s. Even when the girls wanted you we messed about outside. Very rarely inside. Even in the winter.
Norwegian here, sold my car and moved to a town of approx. 35-40.000 inhabitants. My closest grocery store is a 15 min walk from home. That equates to 30 mins of walking daily (at the minimum). And in the year since, I've gone down from 90 to 79 kg. So yes, walking helps. I may drink loads of beers but next to no chocolate/candy/cola. I feel guilty buying a bag of chips so do it rarely. Although the US is *made* for the car, I'm sure if you move to a close-knit community, you could walk wherever and lose weight. Now If I could just stop drinking those yummy yummy beers 🤨At home, I'll fry up a steak but with NO carbohydrate rich sides like potatoes or pasta. Meat and a f*ck-load of vegetables. Remember, you can eat as much vegetables as you want. Steak, a WHOLE fried broccoli, peppers, garlic, onions, tomato and salad and no potatoes. It's so good. (If I'm bad, I'll do garlic bread and Béarnaise sauce, but this is really what makes you fat.)
Unfortunately things are changing i Norway, too, There are still a lot of us keeping up with the active lifestile and healthy food. And much is done to keeo as many as possible of us on the right track. But, as far as I know health statistics show that we as a population are becoming less healthy, the number of overweight people, all ages, is increasing, more children and young people are inactive. Etc.
And I never eat so much that I'm "full", I'm hugry rigth now...but I'm not starving...I can wait a couple of hours. And I eat to get "unhungry", not full. I eat moose, potatoes, bread...that's about it.
"I eat moose, potatoes, bread" That doesn`t sound good at all lol, I love good meat, but eat chicken, fish, lean pork, LOTS of veggies, a bit of fruit or juice for sweetness. Potatoes with fish or pork, sure, but eating a lot of potatoes and bread is not healthy at all, neither is not eating until you`re "starving"..
Trust me, there are unhealthy people in Norway too. But less so than in the US. Already as kids we get used to eating a lot of fresh fruit and veg, we get used to nature walks and activity as a whole and some of us are lucky enough to have the "healthy" genetics. But most of us work hard at being healthy. A lot of people HAVE cars, but they still walk a lot. A lot of people drive to forested areas and then spend the day walking in nature to then drive home. We also have less cars in most big cities, both as a way to keep the cities free from smog but also because we have pretty decent public transport in most big cities. I have never owned a car and I get around everywhere just fine because I have buses.
I think that in America life is more faster; their citizens are always running everywhere at their jobs, life, and everything. Working more time or have more than 1, some people have 2 or 3 jobs to pay their bills. So invest time walking or be more active or eat homemade food It is not a priority. In their culture they work their entirely young life working tirelessly for their future retirements and when they are retired starts to enjoy life and travel (not the rule but the majority). In Europe the life is more slow, their citizens take their time to enjoy and appreciate healthily life and the world around, prioritizing themselves. Have more fairer working hours and better benefits. Economies probably influence lifestyles and their quality, USA never stops, almost everything are open 24/7, no 1 month of summer holidays in August, no siesta as in Spain every day, no Fika, Hygge or Lagom for americans.
As Norwegian teen in the US in the 80's, 195 cm and desperatly skinny 70 kg, it was pure heaven to join a gym, have fast food (i.e. an abundance of calories) anywhere at such a low cost and no apparent FDA limits on any insane supplement you could think of, and to return at a healthy 100 kg :) So I guess it works both ways.
I think we have a note with small letters in Norwegian insurances saying that if you get more than 10% overweight the insurance is void. Most Americans would never get insurance in Norway.
I actually dont know any norwegians that have an health/life insurance. You cant get one if you have anything out of the ideal health. Any risk or diagnosis = no insurance.
Yes, I’ve been to America and made tacos. The ground beef was not good. I might have been unlucky with the type I bought but. I tried micro dinner which was not great. But I also went to some restaurants, f, ex olive garden and since I love pasta it was pretty great. Mcdonalds on the other hand, you need to shake the fries because they are so extremely salty. Not exaggerating, It happened several times so not only in one location. I found the turkey sandwiches in the stores pretty good. Donuts were good, juice were good. Crisps are good. Chocolates are not that great but Godiva and turtles are 👍. I noticed lots of things had blue color dye. Like cereal, it’s probably aimed at kids but yeah doesn’t seem tempting. Also chinese fast food is pretty good, honey glaced or fried stuff. Can’t go to the US without testing some of the sugar bombs ;)
It depends on what you eat, especially if you are short on time. And most people have that in everyday life, which is why I think Norwegians plan more, go for things like a salad together with chicken fillet, but the American takes a pizza, or macaroni and cheese. Yes, we eat pizza too. Anyway, it depends on what you put in your mouth. So planning the week's dinners is a good idea. And buy what you need for each dinner. Also, Norwegians rarely eat between meals, which Americans often do, from what I've heard.
In norway we do have sweet food, it is simply that we replace artificial sugar with healthy alternatives in some cases or at least it isn’t artificial all the time. We eat alot of potatoes and vegetables for dinner, otherwise our other meals are cold bread and we kinda savor dinner time as the one hot meal a day, though we do have hot breakfast buns and eggs maybe on the weekends, like a family breakfast moment on Saturday and sundays for many. Cold breakfast, lunch and supper usually, like 2 slices of bread with whatever you prefer on. Do not slap them together like a sandwich but eat separate and it feels like u ate more. Good example is a cheese and ham on a piece of bread, choose to eat hot or cold would be a normal breakfast or lunch.
Unfortunatly although we do have better food regulation here in the UK so buying good food is easier. The fast food culture is really taking hold here. Every high street or even small roads have fried chicken shops or burger and cheap pizza pleaces. I have been very guilty of this so far this The last few years. I had intended to do better and then badly shattered my leg last week of Jan. This meant food delivered, not being able to stand and cook so everything was ready meals and often getting in fast food options. My weight has incresed (though thankfully not by as much as i thought it had according to the hospital). I have felt more slugish and my digestive system has been painful at times. I am now as of the last two weeks walking properly again and i am really determind to make some major changes as i never want to feel like that again.
Because parents forced the children too love ski! From joke too seriously, you drive the car/vehicle everywhere. Even if it's few hundreds meters away you drive, we walk at those distances. That's very helpful. We go to the gym, we have mountains so we burn more calories when we going up some cities are worse then others. And because of our beautiful nature we are more active then you. We are exploring more and walking more because of that. Also the food. Seeing often in the movies you have fat pancakes too breakfast, but we have often simple breakfast like bread. And we are also making our food home more often then the americans that buying more often fast food. PS: When i'm saying we (i'm meaning norwegian people not me)!
I'm 14 and Norwegian and before covid i was pretty skinny, but after, i got lazy and started to gain wheight, but i'm not really gaining that much wheight anymore, but i'm not really losing it either. It might be because i LOVE candy😅 but this summer i've started to bike every day ( except weekends, thats optional)
Most Norwegians also have a gym mebership. I think its more then 2.7million gym meberships subscriptions in norway. of a population of 5m. so most adults work out at the gym. and more then 90% of kids have done organized activity or sports. I my self are at the gym 4days a week. and run 2 days a week. And thats more normal then not in norway for many adults.
Crazy numbers! It’s weird because Norwegians are very anti-social in general. Going to a public gym with other strangers seems very social and unprivate to me. I feel much more comfortable in my home gym.😅 And I’m surprised most Norwegians don’t do the same. But for those who don’t have space in their house for a dedicates gym room, I get that a public gym is better than not working out at all.
@@venorando3672 well Norwegians are anti-social when they don’t drink :p but that’s why it’s no problem going to a public gym. No one talk to each other anyway as long they don’t know each other from before 😂
It's not about the mountain hikes, but about daily life. I used to live in an appartment on the 6th floor in Oslo and it had no elevator. In the beginning, I thought it was going to kill me and I still remember the day when I forgot my wallet. So I went all the way down, discovered I had no wallet, then had to walk all the way up and then down again, only to walk up a few minutes later. But after a couple of months, I was flying up the stairs like it was nothing at all. I would never think to take the car to go grocery shopping a mile away. I will always walk, unless I'm injured or ill. But the Americans will drive their car a hundred meters. Literally. In Norway, you don't want to buy a car from an elderly person, because you know that they've driven the car like an American and that's not good for the car. Unless it's an EV - EVs don't mind being short-driven. In fact, they sort of like it, so EVs are absolutely best for Americans and elderly people.
14:23 Not food or snacks, but soda. I refuse to drink Fanta Orange or Fanta Exotic in the USA whenever I visit because it tastes seriously bad compared to the Norwegian Fanta Orange and Fanta Exotic, I just can't stand it. So it's a good thing you guys have A&W Root Beer, that's my favorite drink! :D
The fact that if you have a car and you dont need to go shopping, that car mifht not be used for days in Denmark and im sure rhe rest of Scandinavia is the same. If you're just bumming around town we never take the car. Even when going down to the beach from my nans house and wd had 2-3 cars outside it. We would STILL walk down to the beach. Grabbing the car for something thats a 10 minute walk seems absolutely insane to me. Thats why most danes i know only miss cars when moving TV or furniture. I was 40 when i first said it would be nice with a car now. Never needed it before.
Yes I get by without a car in Norway. It can be annoying at times when it comes to moving or stuff I need that is heavy to carry. Or meeting my friends that lives further away. But I get around it, and I save so much money getting around on a bike/el scooter or walking or public transport. Owning a car here is very very expensive.
If you eat till you’re about to explode,you eat two meals a day. Eat way less and go for 6 meals. You’re metabolism will be much better. The meals should include veggies and fruits 😊
But let's not forget the balance between psyche and soma. The brain can actually consume very large amounts of energy, keeping you slim. But it can only happen if you are sufficiently safe and comfortable. Daydreaming while in a hottub consumes about the same amount of energy as jogging does. If you are always worried about making your life work, then you are specializing your brain and that makes it more efficient, which means it's burning less energy. The safety net that allows us to dream, contributes to keeping us slim, which makes us more healthy. I don't think that an American can ever understand «Hopp, Karoline, hopp!»
I am Norwegian, and I drive almost anywhere I go tbh. I might be the exception rather than the rule. But then again, I’m still very healthy with an active job, a healthy diet, and I run on the treadmill (12kph for 30 min without pause) or ride a stationary workout bike thingy almost every day at my little home gym, as well as do strength training there. So I think that it’s mostly a cultural thing to try and get in a certain amout of physical activity per day and eating healthy rather than being a lack of unhealthy options like driving everywhere or unhealthy foods in stores/fast food places, because those terrible options also exist in Norway. And you can get foods with almost all the same preservatives and chemicals from stores in Sweden in my experience. Especially candy and snacks imported from America!
Idk, the Burger King drivethrough is just a 10 minute drive from my home in Halden. So it’s not really an option that is any less convenient or more expensive than healthier options. If anything, it’s cheaper and more convenient. I try to avoid eating that sort of food too much, but I can understand how others fall into the trap of eating at such places regularly, even in Norway.
Also, the tasting bad bit is not just Norway. Ive heard bad things about US food from so many Europeans going there. Nobody was particularly happy about the food.. from breakfast to snacks to evening meals. It was never good.
I myself cant eat normally when i visit the US because of all the additives, i get sick.. The standard in EU (and Norway) is that to have an additive put in food, you have to prove its not harmful first. While in the US you have to prove that it is harmful to take it out.
Start eating sheeps head, liver pate, mackrell, cod roe, boiled potatos and general norwegian household cuisine, and the portion size will automatically adjust. You have to be hungry to eat this stuff...haha ;)
No, because animals in the wild can’t afford to waste those calories. Humans can. I don’t think one is far healthier than the other, but the healthiest lifestyle probably involves BOTH being in the gym AND being active in nature.
There`s a glarin omission here, and that`s the fact that we have a lot less stress compared to the US (in general), and stress is bad for you, not only directly, but it will often make you make poor desicions, like having burger fries and a soda on the way to or from work, instead of taking the time to prepare a proper meal. Stress is *really* bad for you..
Fat is no so bad it would seem, it is the combination of things that screws everything, such as protein and sugar together. I heard that there is sugar in barbecue sauces... imagine the damage !
Move to Jamaica they are in super shape. Usain Bolt, and many more. They are winning 4×100 meters everytime. Skinnyest best trained People in the world.
I would never live in the US because of the bad and unhealthy food. You really got to improve on that point. US might be the worst country on earth when it comes to food.
Because we make our own dinner. We dont go out to eat. We cant either because eating out is too expensive. Chip a.s. o we dont eat that mutch. We have very good food. Take care.
I think by eating bread, like european bread will do allot for you americans. What you call bread we call loff, white bread. Its so full of sugar and is not healthy at all. Just try to eat more bread like we have here. We eat allot of fish and fish doesent have as mutch unhealthy fat. But eating out is starting to become a problem here aswell. The problem is that the cheap food is the unhealthy food so people who doesent have allot of money doesent have many choices. But again, try switching out the bread you eat.
I went to USA last summer, and went through three different states. And from that trip I can tell you, Americans couldn’t eat bread of european quality even if they wanted to. That option simply doesn’t exist in American grocery stores.
@@venorando3672I found something somewhat similar but one of those square breads that is hard as a brick on the outside. It was ok tasting, but that was from a bakery. (Oregon). I would rather have a bread from home but there may be options but they are not as good and pricey.
Just a little nit picking Tyler. Why do people from USA mostly refer to themselves as americans, and say they are from America? There are quite a few other countries in America. Why not say you are from the states, instead? You could maybe refer to yourselves as a US Citizen. Sorry. I don't mean to insult you.

Eating like a human and not a deranged werewolf might help too... Only 3-4 times the last 35 years have a felt the meal should habe been bigger..

As a norwegian, i feel you're glorifying us in this video. We are doing a lot of the same mistakes that you guys are as a society. We're just doing it on a smaller scale. Fore this video you should really look to Japan they're the ones who got It right
Norwegian government tells ut to eat less red meat, and mor fat fish... Ok, but they base this on the helty omega 3 that is in the fat fish and because salmon production is one of the biggest industries in norway, they totally ignore the fact that fat fish like salmon and tuna has way more heavy metals an micro plastic in it than leaner fish like cod. At the same time, the studies that say red meat are bad føre you, don't differentiate between steak and stuff like burgers whit added preservatives. Long story short. The food industry in Norway is one of, if not the worst, industry we have. Even tho it's a bit better than the American one, it's by no means a good industry... The walking aspect is true, tho. There was a clip that went viral in Norway. From a Spanish festival of some kind, that intervju a norwegian guy. And the journalist is like how fare you have traveled to get her, an he's lik I walked here frome Norway. The journalist is speechless. But eventually she is like why? And he's like i like walking. And every norwegian is ither like hmmm maby I should walk to Spain next spring. Or ahh I know a guy like that.
Well the deductible is only up to 2990,- nkr. As a disabled person I reach that limit in February. If I somehow need to use a private health company like Medicare 3 I send in recites to get that cost back.

I'm one of the few overweight Norwegians. I used to be fairly fit and active, basically your average Norwegian, but due to an accident I became unable to stay active. However, because an active person tend to eat more and I unfortunately wasn't able to adjust my diet fast enough after the accident I ended up putting on quite a few kilos. I've been able to turn it around now though and lost close to 17 kg since then, but it is slow going when you're unable to exercise, lol.
The norwegian cuisine is often boiled food. Traditional norwegian food are mostly boiled, not fried, but we do not only eat traditional dishes, we eat International food too, some people prefer international food recipe. We have many overweight people too, but less than in the US
Hello. I come from Norway. Nature means everything to me, I live in a small village. I have many places nearby where I can go for a walk, some difficult and some easy. the mountain tours are marked with sticks or colored stones so that it is easy to get to the right place in the mountain. the tours often have clear paths. we can google various trips nearby and easily find something in other villages or cities. the cities are easy to walk in, for example Trondheim has a tour called midtbyrunden, this is a walk in the middle of the city. Not least, many of the trips I have nearby have fantastic views of the fjord and mountains, this is a motivation in itself. in the winter we have places nearby where we can go skiing or just walk in the village/city we live in. I am so happy to live in this country and get to spend a lot of time in nature.
I'm fat by norwegian standards, but when i go outside of Norway i feel very thin and healthy.
Been on a walk today with my mom. We both need the exercise.
I highly recommend getting barefoot shoes. They have no support so that burden goes to your muscles. You have to pay attention to your body and not only do you strengthen your legs but you feel more comfortable with trusting your body. If you get them start small and just try to walk a little past what you did next time. This was huge for me when i was losing weight. you'd be surprised at how fast you can get better. You stop worrying about feet hurting etc and your balance improves a lot. Just 3 weeks after starting i went to a festival and danced the entire time without having to sit down or worrying about damaging my feet or knees.
Living in Ireland but from Norway and I brought my friend over to Norway to visit
One of the first things she said walking through the towns was "Why haven't I seen one overweight person yet??"
I went to Chicago (the windy city) and stopped by a Mc Donalds for lunch one day. I ordered a small burger menu, but what i got was the same as a LARGE menu in Norway...Big difference in size.... But i had a greate time though....
Norwegian 65 year old. Try to take a bike ride every day. But in the winter I notice that I am more lazy and have to force myself to be more active. But it's true, American bread is a nasty mixture of bad air, chemicals and sugar. But I also found several places that had great Salad Tables along the road in Florida. So it was possible to choose better and healthier food if I wanted to.
4 likes and no comment let me fix that
As a norwegian i'm watching while drinking coke and eating chips
cut down on soda. any soda since the sugar free is meant for people with diabetes and it's not really good for you either way. make food with more natural products, walk atleast 15000 steps every single day ( 20k might be better ) walk on anything other than asphalt since humans are meant to walk on uneven terrain ( good for your feet ) less stress since stress can affect the body in more ways than just stress eating. food portions needs to be way less than alot of people in america eats ( probably because of what's in the food there ) eat food with less chemicals pumped into the animal ( like less antibiotics and such to " keep it healthy " fresher food is better ( meaning you should either have a garden to get some fresher vegetables or try to get fresh vegetables from a farm/local supplier etc.
Its the food and lifestyle!
Concerning the walking, my father visits my brother in America near annually, and he enjoys his walks. On several occasions while walking along he has been stopped by passing police officers (in cars) who wanted to know if he was okay.
FINALLY RESPECT wWOO NORWEGIANS WE DID IT! In Norway some places it’s walking streets ( waking streets are Streets for waking and not driving ) 8:49
Spain is considerd the healthist country in the world. Followed by Italy, Iceland, Japan, Schweiz and Sweden. Norway is nummer 9.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is general knowledge of nutrition. It's part of our culture almost to spread information that will help you make good choices. It's also thought in school. From the outside it looks like Americans are not particularly critical of what they eat or how much.
As a Norwegian, I agree with all of this. Healthy Food, activity and affordable health care. However I just made an observation while on vacation to a place that prides themselves on serving Norways biggest ice cream. We stayed for 10 days and had ice cream 8 of the days 🙈
On day one I and my 3 year old sharing an ice cream, could not even finish 25% of it. But by day 10 we finished it no problem and could have even had more. Now after a few days back home the whole family gets sugar cravings at the same time every day!
I am not what you would consider a sporty individual here in norway. I hate running and feeling exhausted. I am not super skinny, but when looking at so many other .. especially Americans, my own age. I am still perfectly healthy.
I have talked to my friend who lives around Appalachia. and we have had big conversations about this. She struggles with health, a lot of it is not her or her diets fault, a lot of it is genetic. Her Thyroid is ruined, but the doctors refuse to remove before it develops cancer, which is will, even they said it, they are just waiting for her to develop cancer there. BUT she said she has spent so much of her life trying to be healthy, and even just finding the correct information of whats good for you is challenging in the US, because what is promoted to you as healthy is often what s most profitable to producers of product, like expensive health bars that is honestly not even that healthy are pushed forwards instead of veggies and a varied diet.
I eat seafood at least once a week, I don't own a car at all, so I do walk or take public transport, which do demand some walking to. eat white bread only with shrimp and lemon during the summer, I eat veggies every single day. That to me is considered just how I live, not even 'healthy'. But even that in the US wouldn't work, because the bread there is added so much bull, the veggies are full of chemicals to force them to grow bigger and faster (which also causes them to be less nutritious and mostly just full of water that makes their size) and the meat and dairy is full of steroids and seafood is usually shit quality. It is not the fault of the general American, their system and country is literally setting them up for failure unless you are rich enough to buy only organic and buy specialty.
I live about 4 km outside Trondheim, Norway and i don't have a car. It's about 2km to work. I walk, juse my bike or take public transport. Always walking to work 😊 And i workout outside and i go to the gym ❤
We go skiing during winter, and we go for nice, long walks or a jog or two every day
I lived in Oslo for a year. Food was expensive so you didn't spend too much on it. eating out in Norway is relatively healthy if you eat kebab or something, it's a lot of sallad. :D During my year in Oslo I don't think I ever saw an obese person. a little chub here and there but nobody that looked completely unhealthy. I was probably the fattest guy in Oslo during that time. haha
f I go to the grocery store, unless the rain is pouring down or I'm going to buy a whole lot, I never take my car, and that's a 4 km walk right there (2.5 miles).
I walk to work, I walk to the barber, I walk to the dentist, I walk to the doctor's office, I walk to friends, I walk to the cinema, I walk to the shopping mall and so on.
I mainly use my car if I want to go for a drive, or visiting family in other towns (which is like 2-3 hour drives)- And also for car trips around Europe :)
So basically we get free exercise doing normal day-to-day activities.
I hope you will visit Norway soon
The 'orange one' bemoaned that the US was not attracting immigrants from places like Norway. I wonder why?
But some of us love to visit the US, as often as possible :) :)
Take food home from a restaurant isn't a thing in Norway, unless you specifically order food to go.
It's all the ultra processed foods in America. I mean, even the bread over there is gross. I love America and have been there twice, but I really missed Norwegian bread when travelling. They do have a lot of nice, fresh produce and plant based goods in shops like Whole Foods, though. I wished we hade Whole Foods here in Norway. We also walk a lot, most people prefer to walk than drive. And we have a lot of nice bicyle-roads.
Sadfact that no one thinks about regarding walking and cycling is that in big cities the air quality ie exhaust causes big lung issues over time. There is a reason why asthma is very normal in big cities. Especially Oslo in the winter time is extreme. From above you actually see a lid of "dirty air" over the town as Oslo lies in a kettle like area. This is of course a much bigger problem in massive cities. Take Tokyo forinstance, they use masks all the time
Also, scandi kids might be out in the forest or mountains or whatever for hours and hours every day all year round.. you play outside a lot. From 10 in the morning to 18.00 in the evening, and if its summer you're outside again for another 2-3 hours depending on where you live and what kind of parents you got. I was.neber inside as a kid in the 70s and 80s. Even when the girls wanted you we messed about outside. Very rarely inside. Even in the winter.
Norwegian here, sold my car and moved to a town of approx. 35-40.000 inhabitants. My closest grocery store is a 15 min walk from home. That equates to 30 mins of walking daily (at the minimum). And in the year since, I've gone down from 90 to 79 kg. So yes, walking helps. I may drink loads of beers but next to no chocolate/candy/cola. I feel guilty buying a bag of chips so do it rarely. Although the US is *made* for the car, I'm sure if you move to a close-knit community, you could walk wherever and lose weight. Now If I could just stop drinking those yummy yummy beers 🤨At home, I'll fry up a steak but with NO carbohydrate rich sides like potatoes or pasta. Meat and a f*ck-load of vegetables. Remember, you can eat as much vegetables as you want. Steak, a WHOLE fried broccoli, peppers, garlic, onions, tomato and salad and no potatoes. It's so good. (If I'm bad, I'll do garlic bread and Béarnaise sauce, but this is really what makes you fat.)
Unfortunately things are changing i Norway, too, There are still a lot of us keeping up with the active lifestile and healthy food. And much is done to keeo as many as possible of us on the right track.
But, as far as I know health statistics show that we as a population are becoming less healthy, the number of overweight people, all ages, is increasing, more children and young people are inactive. Etc.
And I never eat so much that I'm "full", I'm hugry rigth now...but I'm not starving...I can wait a couple of hours. And I eat to get "unhungry", not full. I eat moose, potatoes, bread...that's about it.
Im always hungry, cant get full, if i do ill get fat, no thank you. I like your brain👍
"I eat moose, potatoes, bread"
That doesn`t sound good at all lol, I love good meat, but eat chicken, fish, lean pork, LOTS of veggies, a bit of fruit or juice for sweetness.
Potatoes with fish or pork, sure, but eating a lot of potatoes and bread is not healthy at all, neither is not eating until you`re "starving"..
Potatoes are much healthier than bread or pasta. Especially smaller new potatoes.@@afrog2666
Trust me, there are unhealthy people in Norway too. But less so than in the US. Already as kids we get used to eating a lot of fresh fruit and veg, we get used to nature walks and activity as a whole and some of us are lucky enough to have the "healthy" genetics. But most of us work hard at being healthy. A lot of people HAVE cars, but they still walk a lot. A lot of people drive to forested areas and then spend the day walking in nature to then drive home. We also have less cars in most big cities, both as a way to keep the cities free from smog but also because we have pretty decent public transport in most big cities. I have never owned a car and I get around everywhere just fine because I have buses.
We don’t have a local McDonald
In every city and we go to Burger King to times a year
I think that in America life is more faster; their citizens are always running everywhere at their jobs, life, and everything. Working more time or have more than 1, some people have 2 or 3 jobs to pay their bills. So invest time walking or be more active or eat homemade food It is not a priority. In their culture they work their entirely young life working tirelessly for their future retirements and when they are retired starts to enjoy life and travel (not the rule but the majority). In Europe the life is more slow, their citizens take their time to enjoy and appreciate healthily life and the world around, prioritizing themselves. Have more fairer working hours and better benefits. Economies probably influence lifestyles and their quality, USA never stops, almost everything are open 24/7, no 1 month of summer holidays in August, no siesta as in Spain every day, no Fika, Hygge or Lagom for americans.
As Norwegian teen in the US in the 80's, 195 cm and desperatly skinny 70 kg, it was pure heaven to join a gym, have fast food (i.e. an abundance of calories) anywhere at such a low cost and no apparent FDA limits on any insane supplement you could think of, and to return at a healthy 100 kg :)
So I guess it works both ways.
It`s low cost because it`s low quality.
@@afrog2666 Whatever. Beiing a teen, 195 cm and 70 kg is not good for your mental health. The stay in the US was :)
No amount of physical activity can make a 10000+ calories a day diet sustainable, as a regular person.
I think we have a note with small letters in Norwegian insurances saying that if you get more than 10% overweight the insurance is void. Most Americans would never get insurance in Norway.
I actually dont know any norwegians that have an health/life insurance. You cant get one if you have anything out of the ideal health. Any risk or diagnosis = no insurance.
Yes, I’ve been to America and made tacos. The ground beef was not good. I might have been unlucky with the type I bought but. I tried micro dinner which was not great. But I also went to some restaurants, f, ex olive garden and since I love pasta it was pretty great. Mcdonalds on the other hand, you need to shake the fries because they are so extremely salty. Not exaggerating, It happened several times so not only in one location.
I found the turkey sandwiches in the stores pretty good. Donuts were good, juice were good. Crisps are good. Chocolates are not that great but Godiva and turtles are 👍. I noticed lots of things had blue color dye. Like cereal, it’s probably aimed at kids but yeah doesn’t seem tempting.
Also chinese fast food is pretty good, honey glaced or fried stuff. Can’t go to the US without testing some of the sugar bombs ;)
It depends on what you eat, especially if you are short on time. And most people have that in everyday life, which is why I think Norwegians plan more, go for things like a salad together with chicken fillet, but the American takes a pizza, or macaroni and cheese. Yes, we eat pizza too. Anyway, it depends on what you put in your mouth. So planning the week's dinners is a good idea. And buy what you need for each dinner. Also, Norwegians rarely eat between meals, which Americans often do, from what I've heard.
In norway we do have sweet food, it is simply that we replace artificial sugar with healthy alternatives in some cases or at least it isn’t artificial all the time. We eat alot of potatoes and vegetables for dinner, otherwise our other meals are cold bread and we kinda savor dinner time as the one hot meal a day, though we do have hot breakfast buns and eggs maybe on the weekends, like a family breakfast moment on Saturday and sundays for many. Cold breakfast, lunch and supper usually, like 2 slices of bread with whatever you prefer on. Do not slap them together like a sandwich but eat separate and it feels like u ate more. Good example is a cheese and ham on a piece of bread, choose to eat hot or cold would be a normal breakfast or lunch.
And medium in norway is large in USA
you sould come to Norway sometime
I know SilvanaDil shit his pants and got an aneurysm at the same time, when he saw this thumbnail.
Unfortunatly although we do have better food regulation here in the UK so buying good food is easier. The fast food culture is really taking hold here. Every high street or even small roads have fried chicken shops or burger and cheap pizza pleaces. I have been very guilty of this so far this The last few years. I had intended to do better and then badly shattered my leg last week of Jan. This meant food delivered, not being able to stand and cook so everything was ready meals and often getting in fast food options. My weight has incresed (though thankfully not by as much as i thought it had according to the hospital). I have felt more slugish and my digestive system has been painful at times. I am now as of the last two weeks walking properly again and i am really determind to make some major changes as i never want to feel like that again.
Because parents forced the children too love ski!
From joke too seriously, you drive the car/vehicle everywhere.
Even if it's few hundreds meters away you drive, we walk at those distances. That's very helpful.
We go to the gym, we have mountains so we burn more calories when we going up some cities are worse then others. And because of our beautiful nature we are more active then you.
We are exploring more and walking more because of that.
Also the food. Seeing often in the movies you have fat pancakes too breakfast, but we have often simple breakfast like bread.
And we are also making our food home more often then the americans that buying more often fast food.
PS: When i'm saying we (i'm meaning norwegian people not me)!
I'm 14 and Norwegian and before covid i was pretty skinny, but after, i got lazy and started to gain wheight, but i'm not really gaining that much wheight anymore, but i'm not really losing it either. It might be because i LOVE candy😅 but this summer i've started to bike every day ( except weekends, thats optional)
Most Norwegians also have a gym mebership. I think its more then 2.7million gym meberships subscriptions in norway. of a population of 5m. so most adults work out at the gym. and more then 90% of kids have done organized activity or sports. I my self are at the gym 4days a week. and run 2 days a week. And thats more normal then not in norway for many adults.
Crazy numbers! It’s weird because Norwegians are very anti-social in general. Going to a public gym with other strangers seems very social and unprivate to me. I feel much more comfortable in my home gym.😅 And I’m surprised most Norwegians don’t do the same. But for those who don’t have space in their house for a dedicates gym room, I get that a public gym is better than not working out at all.
@@venorando3672 well Norwegians are anti-social when they don’t drink :p but that’s why it’s no problem going to a public gym. No one talk to each other anyway as long they don’t know each other from before 😂
I don’t use mine, though.
😂😂😂...
It's not about the mountain hikes, but about daily life. I used to live in an appartment on the 6th floor in Oslo and it had no elevator. In the beginning, I thought it was going to kill me and I still remember the day when I forgot my wallet. So I went all the way down, discovered I had no wallet, then had to walk all the way up and then down again, only to walk up a few minutes later. But after a couple of months, I was flying up the stairs like it was nothing at all. I would never think to take the car to go grocery shopping a mile away. I will always walk, unless I'm injured or ill. But the Americans will drive their car a hundred meters. Literally. In Norway, you don't want to buy a car from an elderly person, because you know that they've driven the car like an American and that's not good for the car. Unless it's an EV - EVs don't mind being short-driven. In fact, they sort of like it, so EVs are absolutely best for Americans and elderly people.
14:23 Not food or snacks, but soda. I refuse to drink Fanta Orange or Fanta Exotic in the USA whenever I visit because it tastes seriously bad compared to the Norwegian Fanta Orange and Fanta Exotic, I just can't stand it. So it's a good thing you guys have A&W Root Beer, that's my favorite drink! :D
The fact that if you have a car and you dont need to go shopping, that car mifht not be used for days in Denmark and im sure rhe rest of Scandinavia is the same. If you're just bumming around town we never take the car. Even when going down to the beach from my nans house and wd had 2-3 cars outside it. We would STILL walk down to the beach. Grabbing the car for something thats a 10 minute walk seems absolutely insane to me. Thats why most danes i know only miss cars when moving TV or furniture. I was 40 when i first said it would be nice with a car now. Never needed it before.
Yes I get by without a car in Norway. It can be annoying at times when it comes to moving or stuff I need that is heavy to carry. Or meeting my friends that lives further away.
But I get around it, and I save so much money getting around on a bike/el scooter or walking or public transport. Owning a car here is very very expensive.
I dont even have a car, I walk , I have public transport right near by me, train and buses, I dont need a car 😂
If you eat till you’re about to explode,you eat two meals a day. Eat way less and go for 6 meals. You’re metabolism will be much better. The meals should include veggies and fruits 😊
High Fructose Corn Syrup......
But let's not forget the balance between psyche and soma. The brain can actually consume very large amounts of energy, keeping you slim. But it can only happen if you are sufficiently safe and comfortable. Daydreaming while in a hottub consumes about the same amount of energy as jogging does. If you are always worried about making your life work, then you are specializing your brain and that makes it more efficient, which means it's burning less energy. The safety net that allows us to dream, contributes to keeping us slim, which makes us more healthy. I don't think that an American can ever understand «Hopp, Karoline, hopp!»
In europe we have eat as much as you want... in america is eat as much as you can.
We walk or bicycle a lot in our job. Then we hiking every weekend. Because of the gas prizes we must.
"Because of the gas prizes"... Many of us drive electric cars and it is very cheap.
I am Norwegian, and I drive almost anywhere I go tbh. I might be the exception rather than the rule. But then again, I’m still very healthy with an active job, a healthy diet, and I run on the treadmill (12kph for 30 min without pause) or ride a stationary workout bike thingy almost every day at my little home gym, as well as do strength training there. So I think that it’s mostly a cultural thing to try and get in a certain amout of physical activity per day and eating healthy rather than being a lack of unhealthy options like driving everywhere or unhealthy foods in stores/fast food places, because those terrible options also exist in Norway. And you can get foods with almost all the same preservatives and chemicals from stores in Sweden in my experience. Especially candy and snacks imported from America!
Norway dont have a McDonalds on every block or other chains for that. Eat fish and vegetables and your good😊👍
Idk, the Burger King drivethrough is just a 10 minute drive from my home in Halden. So it’s not really an option that is any less convenient or more expensive than healthier options. If anything, it’s cheaper and more convenient. I try to avoid eating that sort of food too much, but I can understand how others fall into the trap of eating at such places regularly, even in Norway.
how I stay healty, I eat what I want, drink soda everyday and use big amounts of drugs.... but yes, i do walk, pretty much anywhere
I think like 8 out of 10 people also work out i dont know the statistics but workouts are a must😊👍
Also, the tasting bad bit is not just Norway. Ive heard bad things about US food from so many Europeans going there. Nobody was particularly happy about the food.. from breakfast to snacks to evening meals. It was never good.
Here in Bergen, there is an annual hike called 7 mountain hike
The record for all 7 mountains is 3 ½ hour
Because we are not eating peanut butter, for the most!
I believe all the vegetable oil that replaces the natural fat is the biggest problem besides all the sugar. And that you
I myself cant eat normally when i visit the US because of all the additives, i get sick.. The standard in EU (and Norway) is that to have an additive put in food, you have to prove its not harmful first. While in the US you have to prove that it is harmful to take it out.
Start eating sheeps head, liver pate, mackrell, cod roe, boiled potatos and general norwegian household cuisine, and the portion size will automatically adjust. You have to be hungry to eat this stuff...haha ;)
I have genetic reasons for struggle with waith, but most people dont.
The gym surely cannot replace outdoor natural activities. Have you ever seen a wild animal jogging to stay in shape ?
No, because animals in the wild can’t afford to waste those calories. Humans can. I don’t think one is far healthier than the other, but the healthiest lifestyle probably involves BOTH being in the gym AND being active in nature.
move to norway
I exercise and eat very healthy everyday, the less sugar and fat the better 👍🏼👍🏼
There`s a glarin omission here, and that`s the fact that we have a lot less stress compared to the US (in general), and stress is bad for you, not only directly, but it will often make you make poor desicions, like having burger fries and a soda on the way to or from work, instead of taking the time to prepare a proper meal.
Stress is *really* bad for you..
"Why are the Norwegians look so much healthier that Americans do" Wow, that's eloquent!
Fat is no so bad it would seem, it is the combination of things that screws everything, such as protein and sugar together. I heard that there is sugar in barbecue sauces... imagine the damage !
You need to try norwigen milk
Move to Jamaica they are in super shape. Usain Bolt, and many more. They are winning 4×100 meters everytime. Skinnyest best trained People in the world.
Get yourselves cabines like the Norwegians do. No electricity and no running water.... The good life !
this guy should move to norway
I bet whit better bread, US whould eat more bread as well. We in Norway eat alot..morning, lunch and night.
I would never live in the US because of the bad and unhealthy food. You really got to improve on that point. US might be the worst country on earth when it comes to food.
Because we make our own dinner. We dont go out to eat. We cant either because eating out is too expensive. Chip a.s. o we dont eat that mutch. We have very good food. Take care.
I think by eating bread, like european bread will do allot for you americans. What you call bread we call loff, white bread. Its so full of sugar and is not healthy at all. Just try to eat more bread like we have here.
We eat allot of fish and fish doesent have as mutch unhealthy fat.
But eating out is starting to become a problem here aswell. The problem is that the cheap food is the unhealthy food so people who doesent have allot of money doesent have many choices.
But again, try switching out the bread you eat.
I went to USA last summer, and went through three different states. And from that trip I can tell you, Americans couldn’t eat bread of european quality even if they wanted to. That option simply doesn’t exist in American grocery stores.
@@venorando3672I found something somewhat similar but one of those square breads that is hard as a brick on the outside. It was ok tasting, but that was from a bakery. (Oregon). I would rather have a bread from home but there may be options but they are not as good and pricey.
In addition, if it takes too much effort and time to do something decent, one is set to failure.
Why..that is no mystery.
You are all incentivesed to walk more, you just choose not to. Sadly.
Just a little nit picking Tyler. Why do people from USA mostly refer to themselves as americans, and say they are from America? There are quite a few other countries in America. Why not say you are from the states, instead? You could maybe refer to yourselves as a US Citizen. Sorry. I don't mean to insult you.

Eating like a human and not a deranged werewolf might help too... Only 3-4 times the last 35 years have a felt the meal should habe been bigger.. And it's always at rhose fancy restaurants that have some æblekage dessert that is basically 3 teaspoons and its gone..for 18 dollars. I want 12 of those if we're talking that nonsense..
What is the size of your stomach ? Put your fists together and you will see.
As a norwegian, i feel you're glorifying us in this video.
We are doing a lot of the same mistakes that you guys are as a society. We're just doing it on a smaller scale. Fore this video you should really look to Japan they're the ones who got It right
Norwegian government tells ut to eat less red meat, and mor fat fish...
Ok, but they base this on the helty omega 3 that is in the fat fish and because salmon production is one of the biggest industries in norway, they totally ignore the fact that fat fish like salmon and tuna has way more heavy metals an micro plastic in it than leaner fish like cod.
At the same time, the studies that say red meat are bad føre you, don't differentiate between steak and stuff like burgers whit added preservatives.
Long story short.
The food industry in Norway is one of, if not the worst, industry we have. Even tho it's a bit better than the American one, it's by no means a good industry...
The walking aspect is true, tho.
There was a clip that went viral in Norway. From a Spanish festival of some kind, that intervju a norwegian guy. And the journalist is like how fare you have traveled to get her, an he's lik I walked here frome Norway. The journalist is speechless. But eventually she is like why? And he's like i like walking. And every norwegian is ither like hmmm maby I should walk to Spain next spring. Or ahh I know a guy like that.
I hear "free healthcare" so often. Why ppl say that? We have to pay a deductible fee. So instead say cheap healthcare.
Well the deductible is only up to 2990,- nkr. As a disabled person I reach that limit in February. If I somehow need to use a private health company like Medicare 3 I send in recites to get that cost back.
@@LeperMessiah2 it's "ceiling", yes.. as a disabled myself, I reach the ceiling some times, but not always. But that's not the point. The point is that it isn't 100% free.
Norwegians can't afford the high cost of driving.
I'm a lower income earner, I have no problem paying for gas, even though it's higher than yours. You know so little of the world.
Wrong! We drive electric and it is much cheaper than American diesel and petrol.
Dayum I am first
:o
How does a country the size of America have "a small amount of nature," Tyler?
When was the last time you hiked a mountain?
@@Emperor_Nagrom - When was the last time you swam in warm ocean water?
@@JoannDavi With my superior Viking genes, I don't need it to be warm. But yeh, less than a month ago. I answered your question; when was the last time you hiked a mountain, and which mountain was it?(Lmao, bet you haven't even hiked a hill)
@@Emperor_Nagrom - FYI: Although I have no obligation to tell you, I can -- and have -- hiked a mountain and gone swimming in warm ocean water in my own country. You CAN'T do both in your country.
@@JoannDavi Why would you want WARM ocean water? You bathe in the ocean to cool off from the warm weather. Like....what?
Who are you to decide for somebody else?
Some people would rather eat big portions of tasty food rather than live a little longer.
He didn't even say he would decide that? With your logic, fentanyl and heroin should be legal too. You are actually so deluded with TDS, Tyler Derangement Syndrom, that you advocate for people living unhealthy, short lives just to "win" a point against Tyler. You need to get some help, man
Now if only Americans actually had tasty food, intead of ultra processed hormon infused slop, not even fit for animal consumption.
Any other nation would be ashamed if this was their food "culture"! But keep huffing that copium, you are a great example of the rigidity of thought and lack of awarness most Americans show...
I see a lot of healthy Americans -- in the military, in the many professional sports leagues, in the many college athletic teams....
Yeh, you see healthy people in niche, top fields of athleticism. We see healthy people everywhere in the general population. If only you could see a healthy person in the mirror for a change.
@@Emperor_Nagrom - Say that to Lizzo. (Better brace yourself.)
75% of Americans are overweight (30% qualify as morbidly obese), and 11% have diabetes. That is NOT a healthy population.
"Why are the Norwegians look so much healthier than Americans do?"
THAT poorly written question kicks off a discussion and video?! LOL
(Tyler, why are you so self-hating? Point on the doll where America/Americans hurt you.)
Lmao, write that same sentence in Norwegian without Google translate, smartypants
Jesus christ dude, have you not noticed in your MONTHS of desperately defending the US on this guys channel that he doesnt look or respond to anything?
Are you THAT worried that random people will think negatively about your country?
@@Emperor_Nagrom - Per Tyler's videos, all Norwegians are supposedly excellent at English.
@@nicko9585 - I know he doesn't look at comments, but viewers (like you) do. He knows so little about America. ("America doesn't have cities by water. America doesn't really have mountains." Etc.) I correct his misinfo.
@@JoannDavi Timestamp video where he says "All Norwegians are excellent at English".
