Teenagers in Norway have got many hours of free time when there is no day light. Because there is no light, typical free time activities are hobbies at home. That is why the best young chess player in the world is nineteen-year-old Norwegian Magnus Carlsen.

Magnus, “the Mozart of chess”, is a “grand master”. That means he plays top level chess. He looks like Matt Damon and speaks good English. He plays a lot of tournaments and practices chess for four or five hours every day. He beats adult chess masters, but insists he is still a normal teenager.

Shop prices are rising across the UK's supermarkets once again for the first time since 2014, according to fresh industry figures by Kantar Worldpanel. After 28 months of deflation in the market, like-for-like grocery prices have increased by 0.2 percentage points to bring a return to inflation.

The sector has been warning that prices will have to go up to cover higher costs as a result of a weaker pound. The rise of the discounters, Aldi and Lidl, had led the major supermarkets to slash prices in order to hold onto shoppers. However, the return of inflation suggests that the bitter price war might be drawing to an end.

Grocery inflation now stands at 0.2 percent over the 12 weeks to January 1, according to Kantar. Supermarket sales grew by 1.8 percent over the period as shoppers splashed out over Christmas, according to Kantar. Consumers spent around £480m more at the tills last month than they did in December 2015, leading to record sales.

How our sweet tooth is hurting us

Over the last three centuries, the amount of sugar in the Western diet has continued to rise. Back at the start of the18th century, a typical English family consumed less than 2 kg of sugar per year. By the end of that century, that amount had risen 400%. Compare that to the 40 kg that people now consume annually in the USA. In Germany, the second-most sugar-loving nation in the world, people eat roughly 103 grams on average per day. In the Netherlands, the country with the third-biggest sweet tooth, people eat 102.5 grams. Of course, there are some countries in the world where sweet food is less popular: in India, peopleeat only about 5 grams per day on average; in Indonesia, it’s 14.5 grams; and in China, it’s just under 16 grams. If you’re not sure what 40 kg looks like, it means that the 
average person in the USA now eats approximately 22 teaspoons of sugar a day. Therecommended limit, suggested by researchers from the World Health Organisation, is no more than 8 if you want to stay healthy, but just one can of soda contains around 10.It is common knowledge that many drinks, in bottles or canned, contain a lot of sugar. Although advertisements say that they are ‘energy-giving’, professional athletes and sportsmen and women usually stay away from them. It is teenagers that are their greatest consumers. And –although advertisers promise that these drinks will make people feel energetic and active –because of the type of chemicals they have, once a person has drunk all the soda, they simply feel hungry instead. However, sugar is also in products that many shoppers find surprising, for example, cereal, which actually hasa lot. Because they believe it is a healthy kind of food, parents buy it for their children’s breakfast.A large part of the problem, according to nutritionists, is that people find it hard to understand the labels on the back of food products. Nutritionists think this should be a lot easier for them. But at the moment, manufacturers don’t have to write ‘sugar’ on them, but can use words like ‘corn syrup’ or ‘dextran’, which can result in confusion for consumers. But why should we be worried about our sugar consumption? Firstly, it is harmful to young children because it causes tooth decay; the pain from this can mean that children don’t get the amount of sleep they need. As a result, they can’t concentrate when they are in class. In this case, schools and governments have a duty to educate them about good and bad food choices. For adults, the problems increase. Eating too much sugar makes people quickly gain weight, it affects the heart and liver, and can lead to diabetes.
