Australia steals the USA's crown...

IB4Rs skinniness balances out the rest of the country. There are ALOT of fatt asses in Australia though...

Suger tax ftw. Why is coke cheaper then water? why are mars bars cheaper then bananas? tax the shit out of anything with a high sugar/fat content and we'll see changes.

Basically the poor of our country are made to eat the cheap food.

too bad it's made almost entirely of crap. Make the good food cheaper. and make sure people know how to prepare it.

It's not that expensive to eat healthily, I manage to do it pretty well. It is something that people need educating about though.

It's easier for the time poor to defrost a pie and shove it down then to cut up & prepare a salad.

I'm VERY lucky that my parents make a concerted effort to eat right. On my own I'm fairly lazy.

I am guilty of preferring the fast/cheap fatty option of the slower/more expensive healthy option. Comes back to crap food being cheap, healthy being expensive.

ie: Burger, fries, drink, ice cream $5
ie: Salad $9.50 + $3.50 drink... nuff said.

This is because the Australians went from eating 'kitty' to eating 'sausages'.

I bought two days worth of lunch on Tuesday for $2. Two apples and two pears.
I dont know what a frozen pie costs though.

I think we've seen this coming for a while. I wonder though if its we've got alot of people morbidly obese tipping the scales, or just a hell of alot of people overweight.

New Zealand tv is full of healthy eating ads funded by government now. I think its a good idea and should make a difference but on the other hand we've got alot of lazy ****s who would rather go get a scoop of chips from the fish and chip shop.

We try to eat healthy here but it's hard because fresh vegetables and fruit are hard to find and expensive.

Yeh interestingly as much as we carry on about grocey costs we have really cheap and readily available fruit/veg/meat compared to the states. Unless youre in kansas... then theres corn EVERYWHERE.
