Please Pass The Reindeer.

The researchers, from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, are developing this new food concept, called the "New Nordic Diet," based on the traditional cuisine and culture of Scandinavian countries. The diet emphasizes cabbage (and other cruciferous vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts), wild native berries (blueberries, cowberries, and cloudberries), herring (and other oily fish, such as salmon, trout, and cod), grains (oats, rye, and barley), rapeseed oil (also known as canola oil), and lean game meats (elk and reindeer). The diet will be tested on about 1,600 school children to see if it improves their health.
