                                According to a 2023 report from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, one-third of Australian energy intake comes from 'discretionary foods,' which are often high in saturated fat, sugar, and salt. The Australian Dietary Guidelines emphasize limiting these foods to reduce the risk of common health issues.
