Why do people in North Macedonia consume so much sugar?

Bulgaria has territorial claims, Greece forced a name change, everyone is basically bullying Macedonia…No wonder they're stress eating sugar to relax, it's totally normal.

European country has no territorial claims it's a brainwash from Skopje not to settle it's issues as a candidate country to join the EU, so likes to stay a buffer zone between countries.

I've literally heard people say they're just a race made up by the Serbs. What's your take on this?

Serbia has historically the largest influence there, because MK was born out of the Yugos in 1945, however there is a historical continuity of MK people before that era.

However today Serbia and it's anti eu stance and hostilities to other neighbours is distancing their allies from EU too.

Well, if these people have historical continuity there, then it sounds like Yugoslavia actually did a good thing. What's the problem with that?

Bulgarians were erased from the Yugos, which had actually the largest concentrate historically especially in the Ottoman era and up until the Balkan wars and the fall of Ottoman empire in 1913, Bulgarian revolutionaries fought for the historical Macedonian IMRO. Today no Bulgarians are recognized from Skopje because of the Yugo era, and their refusal to accept.

Bulgarians only in a medieval demonym sense, not a national sense. Czar Boris pushing Bulgarian schools and Bulgarian priests (the same thing that Serbs and Greeks did) does not a nation make.

The first IMRO fought for Macedonian autonomy, Gotse Delchev even declared that they can expect no help from anyone, including Bulgaria.

Georgi Delchev is Bulgarian.

He asked to be buried in a free Macedonia, and he is. He is Macedonian.

There is no such thing. But a Macedonian Bulgarian.

Oh, Boy, again Bulgarian AliExpress nationalism.

Macedonia 🇲🇰, has the remains of Goce Deltchev. You Like IT or Not.

TerranCitizen45@reddit

Yes there is. He helped create the modern Macedonian ethnicity with his fight. After all, it was the Internal MACEDONIAN Revolutionary Organization. By wanting in the end to be in a free Macedonia, he ended up a Macedonian.

Sounds like a izrod education, normally for MK

Your own government sent his remains over to Macedonia. And the descendants of Tzar Boris and Todor Zhivkov hardly can be called objective historians.
