21 Aug 2019 --- Australians and UK consumers are favoring foods that are convenient and comforting – but not necessarily nutritious, according to two surveys. An examination of 1,000 Australian adults found that they are spending a third of their weekly budget on fast food, with young Australians being especially likely to prioritize food that is cheap and easy. Meanwhile, a separate survey of 1,003 UK residents found that 43 percent consume pizza at least once a week, with other popular options being spaghetti Bolognese and a Sunday roast, both of which were consumed on a weekly basis by 41 percent of respondents.
