Perceived need to alter eating habits among representative samples of adults from all member states of the European Union

The perceived need to alter eating habits among nationally-representative samples from each member state of the EU is examined. A total of 71% of respondents agreed with the statement 'I do not need to make changes to the food I eat, as it is already healthy enough,' and 49% agreed with the statement 'I usually do not think of the nutritional aspects of the food I eat.' More females than males disagreed with this statement in all countries except Portugal.
