Savage Garden got it right when they sang, “I believe that junk food tastes so good because it’s bad for you.”
This very lyric could sum up the “epidemic” of obesity in Australia. Well, that and the fact Australia can’t help but follow in the wise-old-footsteps of Uncle USA.
Why are we Aussies so often tempted to give in and take the easy way out? The answer was given in the question; it’s easy. And so readily available! I’m not just talking junk food in the form of a Big Mac (or the newly-born Son of Mac), but the stuff that crowds our supermarket shelves that’s full of salt, preservatives and sugar. In a fast-paced society, we have entered into an age of convenience and food plays a big role it that. And let’s face it, most of the time it does taste pretty good.
