Eating habits
+ self-grown vegetables, fruit, berries+ mainly home-made meals
- Alcohol consumption – quite high, mainly among lower educated groups
- Tobacco - active and passive smoking - We use too less fish and vegetables - Because of economic situation in the
country, people choose cheaper and lower quality food
