One of the largest studies into the dietary habits of Australians has been released. This is what it found.

"There's fixed costs, for example utilities or school fees or essential sort of services … and food is often that elastic budget item," she said. "There can be areas of regional and remote Australia, for example, where food prices are astronomical, and it can be really physically difficult to get a good tucker that you'd like for yourself and your family, and instead, it's the shelf-stable, less nutritious products that can be freighted in or that can stay on the shelves for a long time," she said.
