      This is noted in the OECD report itself, which is, perhaps, more reliable than a lobbying document from the vegetable industry

      1. So your supplementary data says the top four countries include potatoes, (which are a vegetable listed on our ADG and part of our intake). Sure, it pushes the bar higher for those four countries including Australia.

      2. We know for Australia at least, potatoes contribute 35.7% to total vegetable intake. If we remove this, Australia drops back - but we don't know what this looks like unless all potatoes are removed from the other three. Based on the remaining countries we still do well.

      The potatoes issue is, of course, one amongst many. It's hard to compare the data gathered between countries using national surveys because the methodology and context differ

      Another example that was identified by the OECD in their report is that Australia asks "quantity-based questions" - i.e. "how many serves?" - which are known to overestimate quantities eaten because people often do not know what a serve constitutes

      Yes - for NZ & Korea too, not to mention the 24-hour dietary recall of survey's they are based on - small sample size, people forget, underestimate/overestimate, don't always tell the truth etc. Known to be unreliable.

      Pretty much. Comparing between countries is a fool's game, especially when Aus uses measures know to inflate the estimate.

      Actually, no more a fool's game than the food frequency questionnaires that inform the nutrition world. Not very scientific at all.

      It depends. Good food frequency uses multiple measures to triangulate the likely intake. CSIRO has some excellent data collection measures

          In terms of the population results? I think the CSIRO has some reports out on their website. They email your results to you
