Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes
Obesity is linked to the development of type 2 diabetes, which can put people at risk of heart disease, blindness and limb amputation.
Treating diabetes and its complications costs an estimated $340 million a year and is predicted to rise to $1 billion by 2021.
The Government is deeply concerned about obesity and is trying to encourage people to eat more healthily and be more physically active.
ACNielsen qualitative research director Suzie Dale said the study's main significance was that it showed up the "slightly faulty rules" many people applied to food and obesity.
An interim report on the study says the research arose out of the links between obesity and the rising trend of people buying food at fast-food outlets, restaurants and convenience stores.
