Aussie Bloaters Gorging on Junk Food ‘Each and Every Day’
10th August 2015
Australians have been warned to get their dietary act together, after a survey revealed a growing and alarming trend for junk food excess.
According to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), 40,000+ respondents to its Healthy Diet Score Survey – “a scientifically validated survey which assesses people’s diet quality against the Australian Dietary Guidelines” – scored an average 61 out of 100.
“Discretionary food, or junk food, intake was found to be three-times higher than the recommended daily limit,” CSIRO notes.
Gotta love Australians.
