A NEW report from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has revealed Australians don't eat enough vegetables or fruit.
The report was designed to investigate the adequacy of the Australian diet across various life stages to help inform the evidence-base in relation to nutrition-related health determinants for chronic conditions.
Nearly four out of every five adults (77%) do not have adequate fruit intake, the report said.
Similarly 99% of Australians aged 2-18 years and around 90% of those 19 years and older do not eat enough vegetables.
