In the current cost-of-living crisis, it’s understandable that Aussies are steering well clear of the seemingly more expensive fresh food options in order to save money.
But according to dietitian Simone Austin, that’s to the detriment of not only our health but also, as it turns out, our wallets.
”A trolley based on the Australian Dietary Guidelines isn’t going to cost you more,” Austin says, in response to the Healthy Living Report for 2023, which revealed Australians aren’t hitting any of the five core food group targets.
In fact, when it comes to vegetables, for example, the report showed the number of daily serves of veggies Australians are eating per person per day is only 2.6. That’s down from 2.8 in 2021 and around just half of the recommended 5–6 serves per day.
