    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

      Hard to do that when you’re hungry. Blaming the victim increases shame/guilt/stress and makes it worse, since that causes hormone production that result in weight gain. Working on a sustainable way to lose weight such as by reducing known obesogens is much more constructive.
