Nikki Hart: Nutritionist on Aucklanders spending more than $1 billion on takeaways each year
More than $1 billion is spent on takeaways and fast food each year in Auckland.
High deprivation areas have a higher concentration of the outlets, and fewer places - like supermarkets - selling fresh food.
Nutritionist Nikki Hart told Kate Hawkesby for people with low incomes, working multiple jobs and with large families to feed, the food looks attractive after a long day.
She says the industries are smart - they know exactly where to put outlets, such as where there's high traffic volume outside schools and churches.
