      @@bambadoo7378 Yeah, and it completely ignores things like canola oil consumption.
      Okay so we don't use much olive oil here in Norway, but rapeseed oil aka canola oil? It's called the "olive oil of the north" for a reason. We can actually grow it here, the taste is more suited for our local food, and it is relatively rich in omega 3 which is seen as very healthy here while in southern europe they focus more on the monosaturated fat found in olive oil being healthy.
      Also the witty remarks of this American presenter that clearly olive oil is better than butter. Maybe in many regards, but who's talking? Americans have a huge consumption of soy oil which is way less tasty than olive oil, butter or canola, soybean production is devastating rainforests, soybean oil a huge omega 6 content(which isn't healthy in large doses as it blocks omega 3) and it is more easily converted into unhealthy transfats when used in cooking which is linked to a host of different diseases from heart diseases, obesity, cancers, diabetes and even mental health conditions.
      In the end us Europeans have to come together and admit that whether we're using butter, canola or olive oil at least we're not heavy on consuming flavourless soybean oil like those North Americans(or even worse, palm oil).

      But, I just did what you asked me to do. I searched up the life expectancy by country. And, in Europe the top 20(out of 44) are as following:
      Switzerland
      Spain
      Italy
      Norway
      France
      Sweden
      Iceland
      Malta

      Portugal
      Belgium
      United Kingdom
      Denmark
      Slovenia
      Greece
      Czech Republic
      So, pretty evenly spread there. Out of the top ten, 4 are Southern European, pretty good. But 5 are Northern European, and 1 Central European.
      All of these countries are doing pretty good compared to the rest of the world - except Japan obviously - but I don't think you can say Northern countries are doing much worse than Southern. Finland, Iceland, Sweden, Norway all beat Portugal, Greece, Malta. Denmark is not so high, but all they do is eat pork sausages and drink beer so.
      I say the Southern European countries are doing pretty good when it comes to long age, but, so are arguably the Nordic countries.
      And when it comes to the Southern European countries, all of them have much bigger gaps between males and females. Meaning that all the Nordic countries except Denmark have males that outlive all the Southern European countries.
      Your name is Hugo, dude. If you wanna take credit for your diet making you live long, it aint your achievement. It's the women. Start eating what they eat, I guess. And probably it isn't even the diet, probably it's because Southern Europe has a lot of house wives who hasn't worked a single day in their lives.

      The longevity is not only related with the fact that olive oil is healthier or not than butter. There are other factors that come in play such as access to health care and health care quality. As a Portuguese that lives in Norway and works in the Norwegian healthcare system I confirm that Norway has a better standard of health care. But olive oil is way better than butter

    • @Nabium
      @Nabium 2 роки тому +1

      @@exmachin560 I completely agree with most of that.
      Saturated fat like butter is less healthy than monounsaturated fats like olive oil, and butter produce more greenhouse gasses as well.
      I don't think anyone here has said anything otherwise, so I don't really know why this was such a big point for you to make.
      But, what I will say, is I find it kinda absurd this assumption that Northern European butter use has this enourmous influence on health. This premise has two major flaws.
      First of, the butter is not the most used cooking fat in Norway, and I doubt it is in the rest of Northern Europe. There's a reason I mentioned canola, and that's because it's more used as a cooking oil than butter. In fact, a lot of what Norwegians call "butter" is margarine either made from canola(like bremykt, soft flora, vita hjertego, melange etc) or a mix of butter and canola-based margarine(like brelett).
      So your whole premise that Norwegians eat a lot of butter. We eat less than France and Greece, which are Southern European countries.
      Secondly, I find it kinda absurd you think the cooking fat has this enourmous amount of influence on health. More important than what it's being cooked in, is what's being cooked. Southern European food has more vegetables, more salad, less red meat, less cured meats. These things are way more important than what cooking fat is being used.
      We don't use that much more butter than you, it's just we use canola oil and canola based products instead. Which is my whole argument earlier; why is this a map of butter vs olive oil as if canola oil didn't exist?
      Seems like that point went WAY over your head.

    The average income in Germany is actually just at 2000 Euro per month and not over 3200 Euro. We have the largest low income sector in Europe of people, which only get minimum wage.

      There is also the way countries report these numbers, income before taxes, then there might be hidden parts to the income that companies pays out, like employer taxes that are supposed to add to retirement benefits and other things while other countries takes that out of the salaries before taxes. taxes, fees, benefits. What the employer pays for their labor force might differ greatly from what's being reported in these statistics. Over all though I think most europeans can make a decent livign as long as they are fiscally responsible and can work a budget ad for those who can't the government has already take a big chunk of your money so they can take care of you when you screw up... least to some degree. If you're constantly drunk and stoned then life is bound to get bad and short no matter what... Swedish income might be somewhat missrepresented depending on how you view it aswell. Some countries have already subtracted the taxes going towards retierment and social wellfare from those numbers, and the people just have to pay their salary taxes. It's complicated... really really complicated...

      3200€ is the number before taxes and social insurance contributions that will directly be taken by the government from you and can be up to 60% high. And 3200€ is still above average because the few millionaires in Germany increase this number.
      For comparison: After I finished my apprenticeship and started to work as Electrician I earned 1800€ per month in my 20s. During this time I bought a condo and with the credit and other costs like electricity I had to pay 1000€ for it at the beginning of the month. So there was 800€ left for food, gas and other things for the rest of the month. I furthermore started to study electrical engineering during this time and it was really difficult because I was broke all the time.
      Nowadays I work as an engineer and my monthly income after taxes is 2500€.
      So yeah, the 'average' wages in Germany are a fantasy number and have nothing to do with reality.
      But at least you don't have to worry if you have an accident or get sick because the social insurances will help you a lot.
      But if you want to become rich then you should not consider working in Germany.

    Gas price dropped almost 3 times in Lithuania from 2014 to 2020 and only went up a lot because of the latest price surge worldwide, but still, even now it's around 30% less than it was when buying only from Russia until 2014

    Moreover, the Belarusian nuclear power plant was built in violation of safety standards, and much information about its maintenance and construction was and still is hidden. Besides, International inspection was forbidden to access the area.

      Many globally produced items show limited price variation between countries. Such as PC components. So, if you earn 600 euros a month in Country A and want to buy an upper mainstream CPU, it might set you back 500 euros. That's pretty steep, considering your income. In Country B you might be making 2700 euros a month, and the same CPU could cost 530 euros. Not necessarily as bad, even though your daily food and housing would be more expensive. However, quite often a small country with a lower average income might even have higher electronics prices due to missing huge stores selling them by the thousands and thus surviving with lower profit margins.

    In Malta, we also use olive oil to cook, żejt iż-żebbuġa.
    2 major towns on the island of Malta are named after olives, Ħaż-Żebbuġ (from 'Raħal iż-Żebbuġ'; 'The Town of Olives') and Iż-Żejtun (from the archaic Maltese word for 'olive tree' 'żejtuna').
    Moreover, 1 village on the island of Gozo is named Iż-Żebbuġ, literally 'The Olives', and the neighboring village is called 'L-Għasri', from the verb 'għasar', 'to squeeze'; referring to the old local tradition of making olive oil.

    So the thing about the nordic countries and "minimum wage" is that we don't have *one*.
    Rather it's illegal to pay less then a certain percentage of the deal struck with the trade unions in a specific sector.
    So if you work in say a resturant you'll have a different "minimum wage" then if you're a construction worker or work at selling satelites to a foreign country or whatnot...
    And the "minimum wage" will fluctuate from year to year depending on what the trade unions and the employers agree on, so in bad years your "minimum wage" might actually go *down* while in good years it'll go up.
    And it might go down for one type of jobs *while* going up in another one at the same time.

      In Poland governs say "We raised minimum wage, look how good we are!". In reality wages are higher but, living expenses, goods, oil ect are going up so much. Everything is getting more expensive faster then our minimum wages.

      low wages = cheaper products = only way to stay in the game. if the wages go up or level with the "more" western countries they will buy it from the local companies. these days is hardly any added value to the product .....or very small. taiwan, south korea , china etc outrun europe by far. we have to keep jobs here in eu just to not forget how its done.

    Excellent video and this is what it has taught me: UK has 0% direct exposure to Russian gas after Brexit and is building new nuclear ,as well as the world's largest offshore wind up to 2030 onwards to deal with the climate change 21st century issue.

      Don’t think it had any before Brexit either although we are still being hit by rising prices due to the Ukraine conflict. Perhaps more than some others since we sold our utilities off so no Govt control like in France for example.

      Well, I'm from Poland and I can say, that we I'm cooking I try to use buter for frying chicken (imho it gives better taste) and olive oil for salads and stuff like that. For other frying we mostly use canola oil. Also quality of olive oil in Poland is not so good. I have to ask my friend to bring me some bottles of olive oil from Spain when he's around. And olive oli is sooo expensive in here.

    Nordic countries don't have minimum wages by state law, because labor unions negotiate minimum wages (among other things) based on profession by binding agreements with employers. Those contracts by law bind all employers and employees.
    Also, I think average wage in Finland is pretty misleading there as it's really around 3250 euros, and I think Sweden is pretty close, but just below that 3200 step in color...

      @@RellikReyalp I'm pretty sure you have that backwards. Median should be the lower, as the rich peoples income pushes the average higher.
      That is almost exactly same as in Finland (median around 2500 and average in 3250), which was my point.

      It was just 2600 € contained to public sector for women. The average is about 3450 € according to our statistical departement. And the median is about 3100 € according to the same source.

    Map about gas supply is wrong. Baltics and Poland are not dependent on Russian gas, while has LNG terminals since 2009 and majority of the gas supply importing this way, using russian gas less then 50%. Most dependent from Gazprom countries currently are Moldova and probably Germany.
