Australians eating too much junk food, report finds

Australians eat three times more junk food than the recommended daily intake, according to a new report.

Australians were consuming junk food every day rather than as an indulgence, said the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) report.

Among other things, the study of 40,000 Australians found, on average, people consumed 32kg of chocolate a year.

Australia scored 61 out of 100 in the CSIRO's Healthy Diet Score Survey.

"The scores were fairly unflattering across all respondents," said CSIRO research director Prof Manny Noakes.

"If we were handing out report cards for diet quality Australia would only get a C," said Prof Noakes.

Prof Noakes defined junk food as those foods that should be an occasional treat, such as chocolate, cake and fast food.

'Eat more slowly'

Obesity rates are continuing to rise in Australia.

Almost two in three Australian adults and one in four children are overweight or obese, according to the government's Institute of Health and Welfare.

Australians needed to eat less junk food and eat smaller portions of food, said Prof Noakes.

"[Junk] food is no longer just an indulgence - it's become mainstream and Australians are eating it each and every day," she said.

"They also need to be more mindful of every bite they take by eating more slowly and consciously."

The survey evaluated a person's diet based on variety, frequency and quantity of the essential food groups as well as individual attributes such as age and gender.

Inside the mag, Demi spoke about her relationship with her boyfriend of five years Wilmer Valderrama:

“The only times we ever broke up were when I was relapsing, whether it was drugs or in a bad place and rebelling against everybody, not just him… People say that relapses happen before you use. Your mind starts setting up the relapse before you take that drink or that first hit. The times we’d broken up, I had already gone to that place of, Yeah, this is what’s happening. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I just wanted to sabotage everything around me so that I could sabotage myself.”

Stay strong, Demi! We’re so happy she’s happy!

Ariana Grande’s Fragrance — What The Singer Has To Say About The New Scent

We can hardly wait for Ariana Grande‘s debut fragrance, Ari by Ariana Grande, to hit stores in September. The singer and actress revealed the first print ad on August 5, and she looks feminine and flirty in a white outfit with three dalmatian dogs in front of her.

Her hair is pulled up into her signature ponytail style in the ad, and she looks pretty with a pink lip and tan, glowing skin.

When the gorgeous bottle image was first released, Ari said: “I’m so excited for all my fans to see the ARI bottle — I worked closely with the team and the designer to create a bottle that represents everything I love. It’s beautiful, feminine and flirty all at the same time. The pom-pom is just an added wink that makes me smile every time I use the fragrance.”

Ariana told our sister site WWD in February: “I have always been obsessed with perfume. I always carried like six different scents in my bag, another three in my suitcase and another couple in my car. I’m asked so often about which fragrance I’m wearing, or if I have a signature scent. I do have favorites, but I really want to create something that encompasses everything I love…which is why I am so excited to create my personal fragrance I can call my own.”

Tom Brady’s Demands For Tom Ford Clothes & Freakout Over Pool Cover Revealed In Emails

Tom Brady is known as a Super Bowl champion, a legendary quarterback and part of ‘Deflate-Gate.’ But, after his emails reportedly show him freaking out over pool covers and fussing over clothes, the New England Patriots star might now be considered a diva!

Tom Brady, 38, has been having a rough time. The New England Patriots quarterback still has to serve his 4-game suspension for his role in “Deflate-Gate,” and now, his emails paint him to be somewhat of a diva! Messages connected to the cheating scandal reveal Tom losing it over pool covers and making demands for high-end clothing!

Tom’s emails surfaced in a 457-page document submitted to a federal court on Aug. 4, reports the Daily Mail. Tom’s emails were handed over in part of the “Deflate-Gate” investigation. What they turned up was not evidence of cheating, but his rock star attitude.

In Oct. 2014, Tom complained to his manager about the color of an $8,500 winter pool cover. “What kind of morons don’t have a white cover? Can we check with another company?” Tom wrote, according to Page Six. “These f**king idiots, why don’t we have that same cover for the year-round cover?” Eventually, Tom’s wife, Gisele Bundchen, ordered a grey cover for their pool.

Also in Oct., Tom reportedly reached out to a Tom Ford executive to see if she had the latest fashions, asking “if there was anything new to show me or any updates on the polos with the rugby fabric. Also, do you have any black sneakers in the high top in my size or any suit fabrics.”

While it’s not clear Tom wanted the clothes for free, he allegedly came off a bit stingy with his time. When Francesco Aquilini, owner of the Vancouver Canucks hockey team, asked Tom to attend a dinner in Feb. 2015, Tom reportedly said he would go — for a price. “I do have one request. I am starting a foundation,” Tom reportedly wrote, adding that the organization was “to educate all athletes on sustained peak performance.”Huh. Tom will have plenty of time to think about his email etiquette as he sits out the first four games of the 2015 NFL season. The NFL upheld his suspension over his “general awareness” of the ball-deflating cheating scandal. Tom still plans to fight the suspension
