Research conducted by the Queensland Government into eating habits has found Queenslanders are not meeting the recommended daily intake for any of the five food groups.
Nutritionist Mathew Dick says unhealthy foods or drinks represent a significant proportion of the state’s diet.
In Queensland, one in four children, and two in three adults are overweight or obese.
Alarmingly, merely 0.6 percent of kids aged five to 17 years are meeting the daily recommendation for consuming vegetables from healthy foods.
