S. Korea's 'salty' eating habits score 63.3 out of 100: KCDC
- 5 years ago
It seems the average South Korean could do a lot to improve their diet.
A survey by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention asked almost 16-thousand Korean adults about what they eat and drink.
On a scale of zero to a hundred, it gave their diets an average grade of 63-point-3.
The lowest scores went to those in their twenties... who didn't even break 60 points.
In general, respondents lost points for consuming too much sodium, alcohol and soda.
Many younger people also tended to skip breakfast.
Points were given for things like eating white meat rather than red, and eating fruits and vegetables.
The highest score went to people in their 60s and 70s, but even they could use more meat, fish, eggs and dairy.
