Interesting article 😉

NO consumes more sugar (annually) then the UK,
are there also problems with obesity in Norway (like in the UK)?

Are UPF/PF prevalent on the Norwegian menu?
Is it ready to cook meals / microwave or home cooked food mainly?

Yes,
I understand that it will differ between different socioeconomic
groups, like it does in the UK.

One more question, how did the NO reacted to PFAS polluted water?

The thing is that now, what many kids consume is far from ''a moderate amount of candy on Saturdays''. The restriction during the week makes people feel a need to compensate on the Saturday, or weekends and eat a huge amount of poor quality sweets at once. I doubt that it ca be healthy. But at helsestasjon parents are still strongly advised to follow this role, specially foreign parents who are not seen with good eyes if they question this role. Pretty much the same phenomenon is with alcohol: not even one beer during the week is allowed but any excess during the weekend is totally OK.
