I live in the US but did an exchange program in Finland in middle school and lunch was what stood out to me. All the food was healthy but it was all really good too and not having to pay is sooooo nice. Lunches over here cost $2.50 at the least and $8 at the most for a moderately crappy meal.
I need to go back a few generations and get my family to live in one of the Nordic nations.. Their way of living is so awesome, the scenery, culture, and the fucking lunches now? I'm such a jealous American.
Free health care, free schools (including college), free food in said schools, mostly useful mass transit, high quality infrastructure... sure, Scandinavians pay more taxes than Americans, but at least they also get a great deal out of it. Social mobility upwards is also hugely higher in Scandinavia - obviously, as the child of the worst crack heads and alcoholics have the same opportunities to go to college as anyone else.
I've heard that Sweden has issues with a stable economy? Is that true or just hearsay?
We had a foreign exchange student from Denmark my junior year of high school. He said he loved American food so much and gained like 30 pounds. He also said he now understands why Americans are so fat.
