Mediterranean countries such as Spain demonstrate lower obesity rates compared to Australia, partly attributed to traditional diets rich in fruits and vegetables. Which lesson from this international example could BEST be applied to improve Australia's obesity rankings?

  1. Mandate that all Australians follow Mediterranean diets exclusively
  2. Promote cultural dietary practices that emphasise fresh produce consumption
  3. Ban all processed food production in Australia immediately
  4. Focus only on increasing physical activity levels without dietary changes

\(B\)

Show Worked Solution
  • B is correct: Promoting fresh produce consumption addresses Australia’s poor vegetable guideline compliance.

Other Options:

  • A is incorrect: Mandating specific diets ignores cultural diversity and personal choice.
  • C is incorrect: Complete bans are impractical and economically disruptive.
  • D is incorrect: Physical activity alone insufficient without addressing dietary patterns.
