Some key findings included:
  • Consumers denial - whilst most consumers agree that Irish people are less healthy now compared to 20 years ago, only 11% were prepared to admit that they themsleves were unhealthy.
  • Lack of motivation and time prevents consumers from leading healthier lifestyles.
  • People appear to be under increasing pressure from busy lifestyles.
  • Most people appear to understand the components of a healthy balanced diet but do not always put the information into practice.
  • GPs were the number one source of information for consumers with respect to a healthy lifestyle.
