On the positive side, Icelanders are eating more fruit, and the increase of fruit consumption is 13,2 kilos per inhabitant over the last two years. According ot Laufey Steingrímsdóttir, nutritionist, this is a surprise but could be traced to the fact that schools and companies are offering more fruit. Icelanders also hold a record within the Nordic countries for dairy consumption, and according to Laufey this is due mainly to a rise in dairy drinks from skyr and fermented milk. Meat consumption is also on the rise, in the form of chicken and lamb, whereas people are eating less fish.
