Australian eating habits are changing say Roy Morgan Research, who recently published a report that analysed just what locals are choosing to eat (and avoid) when it comes to food. Taking a look at the past era in eating habits, the research compared culinary choices with 24,000 Australians in December 2006 and 14,000 in the same month last year.

To the surprise of few, our love affair with avo on toast looks set to continue with cafe culture in particular flourishing in Australia. Almost half (48 per cent) of us now eat at a cafe at least once per quarter – up from only 41 per cent a decade ago. Coffee consumption is also on the rise, with coffee fiends getting younger. Nearly six out of 10 Australians aged 14 years and over visited a cafe for a coffee or tea at least once in a three-month period – a rise of nearly 8 percentage points over the past decade, from 51 per cent to 59 per cent.

While brunch consumption has increased, takeaway pizza has suffered. No longer is the nation keen on pizza delivery, with less than a third (32 percent) admitting to calling it in. That’s a drop from 44 per cent in 2006. But there has been a rise in home delivery overall thanks to the arrival of Ubereats, Deliveroo, Foodora and co. Once 12.5 to now 14 percent.

While we may be focusing more on food created outside of the home, the community is also increasingly budget-aware. Mono-eaters are a group that is on the rise in Australia, with the percentage of people who bought the same food every week jumping to 37 from 29 percent.
