  • Bill Bryson in his biography of growing up in Iowa tells how his grandmother in rural Iowa used to serve these dishes. He concedes that they all were regular dishes with copious amounts of the food the advertisers sold. He also called Jello the state fruit of Iowa

  • In Norway peas, carrot bits and shrimp in aspic is called "Cabaret". It is not bad, but not so great you choose it over almost anything else

  • Living in rural Norway this was never an option. Normal stuff was accessible (and in shops with qualified staff) but anything special was only available if a distributor had it.

    EBay, Etsy, Ali Express and amazon (however much I despise their business practice) makes stuff available. Even now living close to Oslo, Norway is such a small market that stores can't really have that much capital bound up in stock that occasionally sells.

    A few examples:

    • Pluck foam is impossible to find outside specialized commercial vendors that want to sell it by the ton or something
    • Small vortex mixer that is not sold by ThermoFischer for an insany jacked up prize.
    • 3mm rubber mat, that apparently you get cut to measure in Home Depot according to the craft YT channel, cannot be found outside companies selling them as health and safety mats to cushion walking surface... Guess if they are cheap?

  • Ok, looked into the data and saw that there were practically zero until 2011 and a steady rise to 5/100000 annually for Norway. That is equal to 280 people a year.

    Looked at national newspapers and found that following numbers: Between 2017 and 2021 860 people had malnutrition and starvation as main cause of death. 3790 had starvation as one of several causes if death.

    These are all gearateic patients in hospital or assistes living. If you stop eating or drinking you will worsen existing conditions and also be more susceptible to new afflictions. Because of increased awareness to this in Norway, doctors writing cause of death has started registering more cases.

    As I said as long as the numbers is just presented and not quality assured and explained it's like discussing apples and pears. There is a problem with geariatric patients not starvation in Norway.

  • That fucking makes me curious as I am a Norwegian and hunger and malnutrition is not visible. But 5 in 100000 in Norway with 5.6 million totalt population is 280 people. But it all depends how deaths are reported. In Norway the norm is old age homes, run by the local municipality and there has been discussion how the food served is not the best. And how the residents doesn't eat enough. Also you need more flavour to make food palatable for the elderly as you loose your sense of taste as you get older.

    How anyone can have infant malnutrition on Norway is beyond me. You have mandatory visita to health station at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months (and 2 and 3 years) with consultation from physician and nurses. They weigh and measure and vaccinate. We got state sponsored prescription for hypoallergenic baby formula, so actual malnutrition should be caught. But I know that some immigrant communities and "alternative medicine" doesn't trust the system so they might be the numbers.

  • There is no information on how the data is collected. Perhaps China labels the deaths as heart failure or some other cause of death.

    And like the other comments states, these numbers needs to be weighted for population.
