Exactly. Finland is the highest in Europe with 72% forest coverage.

In India, vegetarianism is neither religion based, or money based (usually). It’s more cultural. That’s why the Hindu population is 70% and vegetarianism is only 35% (not saying that it doesn’t play a role, but the main reason is different). People who live near the coast, for example, are more likely to eat fish. People who live in the desert (Rajasthan) have the highest rate of vegetarianism, for obvious reasons (animals need a lot of water). I highly recommend you look at a map of vegetarianism in India by state to see how varied it is.
Religion particularly caste is still one of the main factors, like for example 55% of Brahmins tend to be vegetarian, ofc region also plays a role like as you said landlocked and drier states are more vegetarian than coastal states. Also Hindu population is close to 80% (79% according to 2011 census) and the ~35% vegetarian population also includes non-hindus (for example Jains, there are also significant vegetarian minorities among Christians and Muslims in India).
Also I don't think being poor or rich matters at all in this. If you're asked the question 'are you vegetarian', you don't think 'yes, I'm too poor to be non vegetarian'. Yes, you might not eat meat on a regular basis because you can't afford, but that doesn't mean you're a vegetarian and won't eat meat when presented with the opportunity to. Same goes for rich people, if a jain family becomes very wealthy, they won't suddenly become non vegetarians. You'll also see higher non vegetarianism in many African countries than in India and China. Are they richer, and is that why they're non vegetarian? Not really (usually). So yes, I would not correlate wealth and non vegetarianism at all.
@@ravinchowdhury5215 that is true, the correct way of saying it would be meat consumption is tied to wealth but not vegetarianism and/or veganism. Like for example China's meat consumption increased rapidly with rapid economic growth, which is why today it is one of the largest meat consumers, despite having a significant vegetarian population.
I won’t forget that scene from 2001 -
I’m in Rajasthan in Jaipur I think, heard that there’s a McDonald’s around. Didn’t eat meat for a year. I’m going there and I see a Bentley (!) stationed just in front of McDonald’s, driver waiting and the rich man (extremely obese and proud of it to show that he has money for food...), goes proudly inside.
I follow him. I’m having what he’s having.

21:58 As an American and a fan of the Netherlands, I'm more concerned about income inequality than wealth inequality. The Dutch have high wealth inequality because they basically invented the stock market, so people who have been there for generations have had a longer time to slowly accumulate as much wealth as they have.
it all comes down to onions
The data on wealth inequality for the Netherlands was a study that used data from 2015 when the economy was bad and 2019 when it was great which makes the wealth inequality divide worse

18:05 it's a really wrong assumption that vegetarianism is related to money. Yes, religion and just tradition is a legitimate reason, but money definitely is not. Infact there is a huge part of informal Indian economy from homestead based animal husbandry which a lot of low income population rely on and they grow their own chicken, goat and cow. Meat industry in India is extremely informal and largely not industrial at all.
Sometimes carrots cost a lot more than eggs here, especially if you grow your own chicken.
And people who are involved in fishing as also not high income either and their main protein source are fish.
Also it would be interesting to see how the data for the IQ is collected, because neither me or anybody I know of have ever taken an IQ test? So were did that data come from?
Ite iq data is wrong because no test has been conducted plus iq exams is not really a good thing to measure intelligence of the country.
Plus westerners don't know u have about india plus all the wetern press bs.
yeah being poor just means less meat. if you ask a poor guy who has eaten meat only 2 times in the last year, he will still say he is a non-vegetarian. not affording meat does not make anybody vegetarian, it just reduces the consumption
I'm not vegetarian, I like some nice meat, but I see the issues with the huge industrialization of meat production. and I don't need to eat meat every day. So I simply less less of.
And IQ tests are pretty much just a rough estimate. I did two in my youth, with quite different results.
That 18% sales tax rate for India is misleading, in reality there are many slabs under GST and it can range anywhere from 5%-28% (or even zero or negligible amount like 0.25%) and some products like more notoriously petroleum products are not even under the GST regime and instead the central and state governments levy cesses on them.
17:35 I just eat fish and not meat which is why I call myself Peskaterrian. I dont get why people call themselves if they are vegitarrians if they eat fish.
Pescatarian. I imagine its a language / culture thing where meat doesn't imply fish at all.

It can be kind of annoying. Some states will even let counties decide what the sales tax is. Go visit a friend an hour away and the sales tax goes up a percent
Thats why tax isn't included in the price of the item.
@@natesmith9007 i feel like each state having a different tax is more reason to include tax in the price.
@@natesmith9007 digitization should fix that issue. Recently they replaced all price labels ad a local grocery store with digital ones to reduce paper waste. But that could also be expanded to allow locally adjusted prices with tax. Or even display both together.

6:20 note on his claim here; the median age, or the age of the exact middle data point on an oldest-to-youngest-person scale, indicates the age of the person with an equal number of people older than them as there are younger. While a smaller number could indicate, as Toycat says, that more people are being "spawned in", it can also be read that more people are having their "health bar reach zero" early in their lives--the difference of more young vs less old. He also mentions averages; averages are means, not medians, and are found by taking the sum of all data points and dividing it by the number of data points. While they are usually close to each other, it's an important distinction to make, since an extreme outlier--centenarians, in this case--can easily skew a mean while having a relatively smaller effect on a median, depending on the size of the data set.
Agreed but ‘average’ can be used as a term to describe mean, median or modes etc. It’s a blanket term for all of them whilst being viable to use as a substitute for any of the individual terms themselves. So you can say that a median is the average, of a type of average, of a data set.
Wrong. Medians are averages, just like how hens and roosters are chickens.
Interestingly the marriage age correlates with the median age. And countries with high median age are noticeably safer while those with low median age are more dangerous to be in.
Basically, if the country is a safe place to live in, people tend to die less from war, famine, insurgency, epidemics, etc, and take their time to find a partner.

No, how much they earn is irrelevant for their *wealth* equality or inequality.
How much they *own* is however relevant.
That's why countries like Sweden etc where people own houses that's super expensive are very unequal despite having low differences in actual *income* from their job.
Basically it's hard to measure wealth.
and wealth doesnt mean happy, id be quite unhappy having a lot of money while some people are happy having a mansion. Im more happy living a simpeler life with less work and more free time for myself, works better for my mental health. Other people much rather work more to be happy cuz distraction or work is genuinely the most fun in their lives cuz of a fun job.
@@mitchystuff My point was that he was saying things that his maps wheren't telling him.
Scandinavian countries have less *income* inequality with lower wages for people who often earn a lot and higher wages for those that earn little then in other countries.
But we have lower taxes on companies and on wealth (like property).
And yes, we have a better work/life balance then most other nations with our trade unions often negotiating for more vacation time or higher pensions rather than higher wages.
IQ tests your logical/abstract/geometry skills. Maths is the language of logic, abstraction and geometry. People's IQ is also better than people from 100 years ago. There definitely is a correlation between education and IQ.
And also a correlation with better nutrition. Child malnutrition affects brain development immensely.
Though I still don't understand how Sweden has a average IQ higer than Estonia.
"People's IQ is also better than people from 100 years ago. " 😂 No it isn't... It's been declining in the 'Western World' since that 100 years.
@@sunnyjim1355 Let me rephrase a bit. The standardized testing 100-150 years ago was easier than it is today, as they get updated all the time.
Just no to people being smarter(ability to learn) than people 100 years ago. IQ is directly correlated to number of hours spent in school and if you grow up in 2 parent family with grandparents available to help teach outside of the classroom and instill discipline. USA's IQ from 100 years ago was higher than today. Difference? Children went to school for more hours and nearly everyone came from a 2 parent family even if your parents were fighting.

Yes religion and money plays a role in being vegetarian but its also because the food diversity. India makes the best vegetarian food and its just as tasty or even better than meat. So i guess pretty good for them as i want more and more people to be vegetarian its good for earth.

21:24 As you clearly stated, these tests are made to test problem-solving skills, which can be learned. As a matter of fact, your IQ changes throughout your life, and if you were to test yourself every 10 years you would get a different result every time. The problem is that people often treat IQ as an innate number that you get from birth, meaning that you either are born smart or dumb. And they use it to justify racism as "Africa dumb, hence poor". But if Africa had as good schools as they have in Germany, with good teachers, infrastructure, internet, computers, laboratories, and no corrupt government, they would be doing as good as Europe in terms of IQ.
Why don’t they have good schools though?

And yes, when I lived in a different town it was quite annoying that it was about 8 1/2 minutes later there.
So I looked into it and I don't know that Bhutan had a 50% sales tax. Articles from last year indicate that the country reformed to a flat 7% GST, and noted that the sales tax it was replacing taxed different goods at different rates. It also noted that certain goods were taxed higher (one document I read gave category numbers) alcohol with a sales tax of 100% and tobacco of 50% in the new system. There was likely some goods that were taxed at 50% in Bhutan at the point of sale under the old system (some are taxed at 100% now) but likely not all, and this tax rate reflects more of a sins tax then a sales tax.

The problem with wealth inequality is not "jealousy" or that it "feels bad". The big problem, at least in my country the US, is the outsize influence the wealthy have. They contribute millions to political causes, they have access to (and ownership of, in many cases) the media, they have the means to hide their wealth and avoid paying taxes, they earn money via investing and owning rather than working (and their investments, like those in property, affect all of us), and the causes and institutions they choose to donate their money to are not subject to any oversight or public input, even though they also affect all of us.

Many of the countries of the world however do not have Federal governments, like France for example is a unitary government I believe. That map should really be titled National Sales Taxes or something to that effect.
This comment is very US centric, there are dozens of federations around the world that exist outside of your continent
interpersonal trust is VERY strongly correlated with several other factors:
- national self-esteem
- feeling that the country as a whole is on a good track
- internal security, obviously
- strength of divisions in the matters of politics (inversely)
The map is quite out-of-date by 2021.
Fun (but true) fact: Bhutan is not one of the happiest countries on Earth; they only claim to be so. In the 2018 Gross National Happiness Index, they ranked number 97. The last years they have simply opted out of the whole survey.
97 as in 97% happiness gotcha there
They ranked low coz of methodology
Basic reason India is mostly vegetarian is because the land is more fertile so growing food is more convenient. The habits down the centuries, become tradition. With a common religion, it easily becomes religious practice!

- yeah, great research, well done
All this time we could have been walking into Toycat's unlocked door, now it's too late, RIP.
Many people in India can't afford meat. What a joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣when meat is cheaper than many vegetables 🤣🤣
Idk what supermarkets you go to where meat is cheaper than vegetables lol
@@ibx2cat The meat consumption level is mostly due to most of the cuisine being vegetarian rather than not being able to afford it
@@ibx2cat the trashcan
@@ibx2cat Meat is almost same price as vegetables. Dont forget India is a meat exporter as we grow far more meat than we consume
Fish is even cheaper
@@ibx2cat it is not about money but our culture to eat one or two time a meat in a week which is good for health. That's why obesity rate is so high in Western countries .
about the trustworthy thing, for me as a brazillian legit got surprised when i grew up that people from north countrys trust each other so much, when we are being raised we are teached to be careful and never trust a stranger (mainly because robberys are so common) so that has a snowball effect and thats why we dont trust each other (i believe that affects marriage data too)
It all comes down to metal.
If you look at things like the democracy index, freedom of press index, happiness index, etc and compare it to the density of metal bands per capita there is a clear correlation.
We don’t have “free”(federal) healthcare in the US because we have lower taxes.
Very specifically no federal sales tax
Health care is not tax paid. It's paid by public health insurance.
@@banchnotok And that insurance is payed for with what?
To pay for “free” healthcare you either need to print money or pay taxes.
Inflation is just taxation without legislation!
this will always be your first channel to me, bro.
The IQ map is flawed.
It's not actually Federal Sales Tax in most of these countries as not all countries are federations.
Young correlates with not wanting homosexuality..
Totally ignores that the map of islam and the map of hating gays is EXACTLY the same map.
Definitely youth, definitely not that region of the world and the strong religious based laws they have, nope
from a canadian farmer it can be easier feeding cattle than growing crops. also you need more land to grow crops than cattle (cattle is like 2 ac/cow and 1 acre can be forest grazing land for a large chest freezer of meat to bread or wheat which requires more). in fact going off of urban sprawl and food insecurity we should be growing more meat and heading towards a good mix diet as no only as we are omnivores (eat plants and meat) but for reasons i have stated (can raise more meat on an acre than crops)
I can tell you Americans would not give up meat even if alternatives were better. Meat is manly. We wouldn’t give up our pride for the greater good

my understanding for the tax rate in Bhutan is that its for foreign tourists and the locals do not pay it.
apparently its used to fund Bhutan's School's and a few other programs.
its something i heard a few years ago but i forget wear i heard it.
Hey ibx2cat! Do you play geocaching? It always makes me discover new places.
Where did you find that gini map? World bank data ranks always Norway, Sweden and Denmark in the top 10 (with the lowest gini, I mean). They have a Gini around 26-27 points, and the EU medium is 30 🤔
It's not that there's no sales tax here, there's no *federal* sales tax. It's 0 for technicality's sake. Sales tax is set by individual states, sometimes down to different taxes on different categories of items, and can vary widely across the country. This is also why American price tags are always pre-tax, cuz companies don't want to have to make different labels to accommodate the different tax rates of every state in which they operate.
6:47 be careful there, you made a really common mistake. Median ≠ Average
I've known a bunch of people in the US who get married super young. A lot of which ended up getting pregnant unintentionally and married as a result.
The age of first marriage is indeed a cultural thing. For example Germany and Italy are in the same range, but german young adults tend to move out early, while italians tend to stay longer with their parents. There is just a big cultural difference in the importance of family. It isn't too uncommon in Italy for 3 or 4 generations to live under the same roof and for grandparents to watch their grandkids. A family being together is of higher importance there, while in Germany the independence of the individual family members is important. Which doesn't mean that family isn't important, just in a different way.
In India vegetarian thing is neither a religious thing nor financial
South india
Consume more safe food
While the northern States consume more vegetables
The main reason is demography
But still tend to 40% of people don't eat meat because of religious purposes which is drastically incrrasing in India
Ha you're telling me to do more useful things when for once I literally have to sit inside and do not a lot.
I have corona lol.

what do you say about belgium
As an American, I has ZERO idea that other countries had federal sales tax rates. AND THEY’RE SO HIGH. Like the average state/municipality total sales tax in the US is probably I would have to guess 8%.
Well, in India it's not about money that they don't eat meat that much, neither it is about the religious beliefs I would say as many hindus eat meat, its been way of life since thousands of years. We knew what is the most sustainable living is and will always be.
