  • I like to binge snacks (doesn’t matter if healthy or not) out from my house, so it sometimes feels hard to stay in specific calorie amount. What helps me with that is to either make snacking a process where I need to prepare it each time I want them or not to buy any from stores.

    Also just generally preparing food yourself instead of just ordering/buying food helps with getting less calories. Not always possible due to time/energy/money, but it has helped me a lot.

    Good luck with your plans!


  • A tldr due to it being in Finnish:

    • Finland was in 15th place in 2014
    • ~1.2 million have over 30 BMI in Finland
    • ~1.2 million have fatty liver, 800k some type of sleep apnea, 500k type 2 diabetes
    • Processed foods and sweets getting more popular are blamed as the reason for this
    • Some experts and doctors recommend a higher taxes on these products, especially sweets (a higher candy tax was supposed to happen this year, but it was lobbied by companies not to); soft drink tax is still planned to get higher this year.
    • Some mentions at the end about Pohjois-Karjala(North Karelia) project. Old project that was done to reduce heart and lung diseases occuring in that municipality by teaching how to reduce salt/fat/smoking. Something similar could be done now in whole Finland

  • Doesn’t feel quite “world news” worthy article.

    Context for the news: Olkiluoto 3 is one of the newest nuclear power plants in Finland and originally it was meant to be complete in 2009. It ran in 2021 for the first time and was fully running in 2022 in its test runs. It was operational in 2023-ish?

    It has been a huge money sink with the delays in its constructions and constant malfunctions while running it (no danger thanks to safety regulations). Olkiluoto 3’s delays and malfunctions have decreased the citizens’ interest in nuclear energy tremendeously. When it actually runs properly, it is a noticeable margin on Finland’s energy production.
