I have noticed that Swedes are also really into diets. Just like Americans. The big fad right now is the G1 diet, I don’t really know what that is. Dieting in Sweden is very different.
In the States a whole lot of people go on a fad diet. Most often it’s not so much about getting thin, loosing weight and such. At least the people I know in the States go on diets to become healthy. Keeping the doctor away. Not getting clogged arteries. You eat healthy to have a better life.
In Sweden it’s different. Most people are rather thin… well comparably… But people go on diets to loose more weight. The actual word for diet in Swedish means to slim down. The English word means to eat differently. Most would probably assume that people in the states are more vain with all their cosmetic surgery and all. But hello! It’s Hollywood and Hollywood is NOT the States.
So when I say I’m going to diet…. I DO NOT mean to loose a bunch of weight. I mean… bring on the healthy stuff that makes you more awake, strengthen your body and make you alert for life. Stop eating the chips, candy, and grease. Now, I know I will fail at that just as much as everyone else, Swedes and Americans alike!

Wow, you mean they do that on purpose? and I thought Swedes were naturally thin….like the cold weather just burns off the calories or something like that. (showing my ignorance here)
And I heard that California is about to fall off into the ocean any day now. I image then our image as Americans will improve
