DISINFO: In Sweden, refugees are fed better then the elderly

SUMMARY

The food served to refugees for free in Sweden is much better than the food served to paying elderly, proven by a photo.

RESPONSE

The photo is fake and does not depict the food served either to refugees or to the elderly in Sweden. It is an often used narrative by Swedish pro-Kremlin outlets to claim that refugees are offered better services than the elderly in Sweden (and that it has to be mutually exclusive).The photo with the appetizing plate is taken from a food blog, the owner of the blog is urging people to report the post as fake.
