Australians are eating less sweet biscuits says a new study from Roy Morgan Research.
According to the data, 42 per cent of Australians 14 and older at a sweet biscuit at least once a week in 2015. In 2011, 26.3 per cent of Aussies 14 and over were consuming sweet biscuits on a weekly basis.
Comparatively, between 2011 and 2015, Australians’ consumption of savoury cracker biscuits has fallen only slightly, from 33.1 per cent to 32.4 per cent.
Teenagers between the ages of 14 and 17 along with those aged over 65 are the country’s biggest sweet biscuit eaters. More than half of those aged 65 or older eat biscuits weekly. A little over 45 per cent of teenagers under 18 indulge in the sweet treat.
