About convenience food
Australians spend about one third of their household budget on convenience foods such as takeaway and supermarket ready-to-eat meals.
There are many reasons why people are cooking less often. People’s lives are busier; the two-income household can mean that neither partner has the time or energy to cook every night. There are also more people living alone, who often don’t want to cook for themselves.
However, convenience foods can be expensive and many are high in fat and salt. Fast foods are up to 65% higher in kilojoules and larger in portion size than food prepared at home. The average fast-food meal contains about half the kilojoules needed for the day, so many people are eating far too many kilojoules without realising it.
