OVERVIEW
What are Australians eating and how does this measure up with what they should be eating for good health? Can industry address the gap between the reality of what we eat with the target of eating for optimal health? This meeting took a detailed look at consumption patterns from the latest Australian survey data, assessed the methodology, identified the gaps between what current dietary guidelines recommend and the reality of consumption and identified what initiatives industry might take to address those gaps.
OBJECTIVES
