I added the reference quoted on the infographics as this is a screen shot, I cannot link to the infographic source directly. My take is that the infographics were created by the phc from the data in the report.The link you provided does not link to the infographic in your post so I can't look at it in context. The infographic shows that fruit and veg intake are below recommended levels. It also shows calorie intake as being below recommended levels - hopefully there will be a comment elsewhere in the presentation explaining that self-reported calorie intakes are, for various reasons, substantially below actual calorie intake and this should be taken into account.
If the argument is that we don’t follow guidelines or eat too many calories/too much red meat etc (based on self reported data I assume) and this is why we’re fat as a nation then this report (using similar data reports) conflicts with that claim. If self reporting is inaccurate for one claim then it is for the other too is it not?
