A recent report from the Norwegian Directorate of Health shows that the Norwegian people eat more vegetables and less sugar than ever before.

The intake of fruits and berries fell slightly from 2010 to 2011, and Norwegians ate 4.4 lbs (2 kg) more vegetables in 2011 compared with the year before. In total, Norwegians consumed 355 lbs (161 kg) of fruit and vegetables in 2011.

In comparison, the average American ate 310 lbs (140 kg) fresh fruit and vegetables in 2009.
