Yeah that's only in the food industry as I could understand, so would not include food waste in your home which is by itself 40kg in 2020 (p. 94).
Note that unlike the map above, the purpose of this report is not to compare food wastage between countries but to examine specific aspects of it in Norway and how it can be reduced.

According to Miljødirektoratet Norwegians produced 74-79 KG food waste per person per year (2016). Which would about the same or lower than UK has in the above map.

Your source seem to have similar numbers, and both are below the global average. The tricky part is what is beeing measured, and what estimates were used as well as reporting.

Reply to comment by TheKillersHand in [homemade] Charcuterie board, assorted fruit, chips & dips by King_Adrock
Making one is arranging one - that's how you make a Charcuterie board, or smörgåsbord, or similar dishes with multiple basic ingredients or dishes. I bet OP even sliced the fruits and vegetables himself, which constitutes preparing a meal.
And as noted, there is no "prepared meal" tag in this subreddit so Homemade is the only one available:
- [Homemade] - Food you made. This includes food made from scratch, or food assembled from pre-made ingredients.

If you go to the supermarket and buy bread, cheese, ham, mayo, lettuce etc. and combine it to a sandwich you made a homemade sandwich. If you go to a restaurant and get a finished one you did not.
I never heard of anyone going to a McD to purchase their uncooked bread, meat, cheese to fry it at home, but If they did then yes it would be a homemade MacCheese or something.

OK I'm pretty tolerant on gay marriage and people being who they are, but 2 ravioli on a lettuce leaf would probably upset me as well.
(ok joking but really why not serve some filling food as well? If the guests have to go to get a hot dog or burger after, is that a good thing?)

It's not just about how they look, it's also about taste. The French recipes don't include water, tend to have more eggs to flour ratio and more milk to flour as well (in volume). Sugar or powdered sugar is optional (some do, some don't).

Reply to Crepes [homemade] by Turtleramem
More eggs (3-4), replace the water with milk. Don't need the sugar (add some after if people want). Less flour to milk ratio, about 1.5 cups milk to 1 cup should do it.
​
Large pan, medium heat with some butter, put in enough to not cover the whole, but swirl it so it will make a thin crepe and nice soft edges. They should be soft enough to be foldable when done.

Pretty sure it is well cooked and hot. I can't see how you'd cook the beef better without just burning it.
The cheese type is different from the US though so that may be why it looks less cooked. Also there is a lot of watery vegetables on it that will be soft when cooked and make it look "less cooked".

Reply to [I ate] "Traditional" norwegian pizza. by Mountainbranch
This is what as a Norwegian we would just call "American" pizza. For a "traditional Norwegian" pizza it would be a homemade square one cooked in the regular oven with thick bottom, tomato sauce, minced meat, and generous cheese on top. It was intended to feed a family with very simple tastes and to be fairly cheap to make.
While American style pizza is popular, Italian style is also very popular in urban areas.
PS the white sauce is what we call "rømmedressing", which is a sourcream based sauce with garlic and some other spices. It's eaten on both types except not really served at fancier Italian restaurants.

Reply to Contemporary Reactions to Colonialism by J1m1983
It would also depend on how the colonization was made, the scale of atrocities and who the victims were. And obviously who the aggressor was and their current reputation.
As an example, Leopold's "Kongo Free State" was condemned internationally in the 1890s when conditions of forced labor, torture and executions become known in Europe in open letters such as this:
George Washington Williams, an African-American journalist, pastor, historian, lawyer, and Civil War veteran, after visiting the Congo in the spring of 1890. Hoping to witness firsthand Leopold’s alleged philanthropic works, Williams instead left Africa outraged and disillusioned. He wrote Leopold shortly after, “in plain and respectful language,” protesting how Congolese were swindled of their lands and brutalized by agents of the Congo Free State, including Henry Morton Stanley. He lashed out at Leopold for allowing kidnappings, coerced labour, torture, and wanton murder.
More well known critics came in the form of Joseph Conrad, writer of The Heart of Darkness, and later Mark Twain. Both these authors contributed in telling the (white) world how bad things really were in the Congo. The Casement report later verified the atrocities and were taken quite seriously, resulting in the dissolving Leopold's property and creating the Belgian Colony.
Note that many of the detractors and condemners did not disagree with colonialism, but reacted because Leopold's reign went too far and caused too much suffering that even your staunchest "white man's burden" racist imperialist could stomach it.
Still, even after this debacle most Europeans believed in Imperialism as a way to spread culture, decency, trade, and prosperity to regions and peoples they believed to not have it.

You eat 100g licorice per day for a week? If you do, you may be in danger.
NHI:
>Å spise mer enn 50 gram svart lakris om dagen i minst to uker, kan føre til potensielt alvorlige helseproblemer - som økt blodtrykk og uregelmessig hjerterytme.
There are very few cases of this happening, and you're at risk probably only if you do this over time and/or are older than 50.
