We have amazing varieties of foods now these days. Our ancestors wouldn't ever imagine. We eat avocados from Mexico and oceanic fish from Chile. We have great variety of foods from all continents. However, the quailing of those food have much lower nutritional value and in some cases are harmful to our bodies. They are sprayed with pesticides; herbicides, insecticides and fungicides. Meats are heavily processed and animals are given antibiotics and growth hormones. Many meat manufacturers actually inject the food with carbon monoxide to give it that fresh, reddish-pink look. Processed sugar, heavy salts, hydrogenated vegetable and soybean oils.
I am just scratching the surface of food industry's around the globe. Who do you think were more healthy us or them? We have modern day sicknesses/ diseases such as diabetes, heart attacks, cancer, high blood pressure. mostly due to our food. Food is medicine and a building block of our physical existence and we have ruined it. We are created food that is not nourishing but addictive.

We still eat all of those things in Denmark. Specifically the different variants of ryebread and skyr. Ryebread is considered the cornerstone of a healthy and filling lunch. Skyr is a very common breakfast choice, but are also a part of snacks and deserts. It's basically a sour yogourt full of protein, which is also why it's very common in body building protein intake. The smelly, rotten fermented fish tho? No.

In a study conducted in Sweden. if the ViKangzz were so intelligent because of what they ate, then they would have had an Alphabet (Runes are just cheap Latin copies) Mathematics, Numbers and a Civilization and advanced Art and Architecture, but Viking Art in the 1200 th AD, century was as sophisticated as that of a modern 2 year old

In our times, it is the quality of food and its nutritional value that makes the difference. Most foods are processed, genetically modified, antibiotics are used and a lot of coloring and preservatives are added. Food is your medicine and most pharmaceutical companies know that. Keep healthy

Honey was NOT available to them. Very little bread was available to them. Very few wild or grown vegetables were available to them in their native lands. Until raids into the Mediterranean and middle east their diets were 95% meat and fish.

They ate a wide variety of highly nutritious animal based foods alongside quality plant foods, the bread the made from rye is not the same as the crappy bread we have today made from GMOs, additives and glyphosate!

It's so frustrating that people ignorantly refer to all Norse people as 'Vikings'. They weren't all Vikings. You'll probably say Yes I know. Then why do you do it? Have some respect for the history and the people.

Two meals and leftovers. That's pretty much 90% of cultures in olden times. And how I eat anyway. Anyone that isn't living in the propaganda of we have to eat breakfast would be eating like this anyway.

its insane to think that most cultures didn't know boiling water would make it safer and drank beer instead, while they cooked and made stew all the time

I believe the proper term should be Norsemen rather than Vikings. This covers medieval Scandinavian diets and not the food available on Viking missions.

The person that's doing this video needs to do some more research. Their diet was and all that great, actually some of the food they ate was killing them.

I suspect the poison was to counteract the parasites. A custom most modern people have forgotten thanks to higher food production standards.

Well if life was so rosy for them and the food so good, why the need to plunder and pillage and eventually integrate into other countries?

I guess it makes sense that a bunch of highly skilled warrior engineers would have a well rounded diet to fuel their success.
