Starvation, moldy bread and food poisoning for conscripts
Published January 27, 2024 at 4:59 p.m
DOMESTIC. Swedish citizenship is ultimately about defending a debauched way of life with your life as a stake and weapon in hand, as it is usually called officially. But now a report shows that it can also mean getting food poisoning, suffering from starvation and being served moldy bread while conscripted.
At the regiment K3 in Karlsborg, over 100 people got food poisoning and on another occasion they were served moldy bread.
In Gothenburg, the conscripts were given so little food that they starved and lost up to six kilos in weight, according to a report from the Duty Council.
"Here, the supervisory authority has carried out an infection tracing but has not found a clear answer to how this arose", writes Lotta Skarenberg, head of communications at the regiment in Karlsborg, in a comment to SVT.
However, the fact that hunter soldiers lose six kilos in weight does not mean that they are starving, according to the Swedish Armed Forces, even though perfect physique is required to begin the training.
- It is not strange to lose weight when you eat at fixed times and exercise daily. The important thing is that the soldier is followed up so you know why he lost weight, says Johanna Frejme, communications manager at Amf 4.
The soldiers in rainy Gothenburg also reportedly lacked rain clothing, which limited the so-called amphibious regiment's ability to operate when it rains outside.
- It is not good, of course, that we in the amphibious regiment do not have clothes that can withstand rain, says Frejme to SVT.
Study: The less social media - the better well-being
Published 120 p.m
Several studies of the impact of social media on especially young people have all shown that they are linked to a worse mental well-being, and now comes yet another study that confirms this.

The study included roughly 170 people aged 18-29 for three weeks who had previously used social media for approximately two hours per day. The participants were divided into three groups. In the first, they were only allowed to spend 30 minutes a day on social media, in group two, they were only allowed to use the media passively and only look at other people's posts, while the last group did as usual.
- Here we wanted to investigate whether passive use has positive effects because it leads to a reduced emotional and social investment in what happens on social media, for example through how others react - or do not react - to the content you publish, says Martin Wolgast, docent in psychology at Lund University, to forskning.se .
More focus and self-esteem
According to Wolgast, the differences between the control group and those who changed their social media behavior were surprisingly large.
The group with limited time on social media, but even those who passively used them, experienced that they became more focused and concentrated on other things in everyday life.
The restricted group also reported reduced levels of depression and stress, and also had better self-esteem.
