The WRONG answer is "...Because the Scottish people choose to eat a diet that is high in fat, salt and sugar thereby increasing their chances of being affected by Heart disease, strokes, narrowing of the arteries and tooth decay..."
The correct answer is: This only applies to a small, working-class population within Scotland, where smoking, alcohol abuse, stress, lack of vitamin D, a bleak life AND poor diet all contribute. Drugs are also a major factor in these areas. The typical working class Scottish diet is not much worse than that of other western working-class populations - but they do deep fry a lot of food in vegetable oils, and they consume a lot of white bread and sugar. When they cooked in animal fat (up until the 1970s) they were much healthier.
