New diet findings reveal that Australians eat three times more junk food than the recommended daily intake.

Australians were consuming junk food every day rather than as an indulgence, said the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) report.

Among other things, the study of 40,000 Australians found, on average, people consumed 32kg of chocolate a year.

Australia scored 61 out of 100 in the CSIRO’s Healthy Diet Score Survey. The diet snapshot found men were more likely than women to eat junk foods like chocolate, soft drinks and alcohol.
