Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Mai i ngā poraka tiakarete mutunga kore e tukuna ana puta noa i te tari, ki ngā ara o te toa nui, me ngā whanaunga o te whānau e puta mai ana me ngā kete o ngā hua manu, ka taea e te Easter te whakatere i tētahi wāhi ki te tirotiro mēnā kei te ngana koe ki te mātakitaki i tō whitiki. Engari e ai ki ngā rangahau hou, kāore he take ki te haere māmā i runga i ngā hua manu i tēnei wiki, me te rangahau a Roy Morgan e whakaatu ana kāore he hononga tika i waenganui i te kai tiakarete me te pikinga o te Body Mass Index (BMI). He mea whakamiharo tēnei ki te hunga e haurangi ana ki te tiakarete, i te mea e ai ki a Roy Morgan, e rua hautoru o nga Ahitereiria e whakaae ana ki te kai tiakarete i te iti rawa kotahi i te marama. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. He rongo pai: he tiakarete ia rā i kitea kāore i pā ki tō Body Mass Index. Ahakoa kua roa te rongonui o te tiakarete hei kai 'kore hauora', ko nga taunakitanga inaianei e tohu ana he nui ake te kohinga kakau mo tana whiu i te mea e whakawhiwhia ana e tatou ki a ia. I kitea e te rangahau i arahina e Roy Morgan ahakoa e whakaae ana te 67 ōrau o ngā pakeke o Ahitereiria e herea ana e rātau te nui o te kai momona e kai ana rātau, ka whakaurua tonu e rātau tētahi momo tiakarete ki roto i tō rātau kai i roto i te wā e whā wiki, ā, ka pau i te 74 ōrau i te iti rawa kotahi i te marama. He mea whakamiharo, 68 ōrau o te hunga i tohu i te 'I'm constantly watching my weight' statement me te 'prefer to eat healthy snacks' e tutuki tonu ana i te kotahi marama i te marama. I whakaaturia hoki e nga hua kaore he taupori kotahi i Ahitereiria e kai ana i te tiakarete tino nui - he maha nga roopu me nga ahuatanga tiakarete. Tuatahi, ko te hunga <unk>e kai ana i te kai i te ra katoa<unk> i whakaarohia ko te nuinga o nga kaihoko tiakarete. Ano hoki ko te hunga i whakaarohia he iti iho te taumaha i kai i te tiakarete i roto i nga wiki e wha pera me te hunga taumaha (me te nui ake o te taumaha). He kai mō te manawa: Kua kitea hoki e te tiakarete ka whakanui i tō wairua me te whakaiti i ngā taumata māharahara. Ko tēnei rangahau anake e whakanui ana i te ingoa i roto i ngā rangahau hauora e tohu ana ināianei he pai te tiakarete ki a koe i roto i ngā huarahi maha. Kua kitea he āwhina ki tōu...
E whakaatu ana ngā rangahau hou mai i a Roy Morgan kāore he taunakitanga e pā ana te kai tiakarete ki te BMI. I tēnei wā e rua hautoru o ngā Ahitereiria e kai tiakarete ana i te iti rawa kotahi i te marama. I kitea hoki e te tiakarete he painga ki te roro, te ngakau me nga taumata ahotea.
