Families still eat too much saturated fat and sugar and just a third of adults meet the recommended 'five a day' fruit and vegetables target.
Oily fish and fibre are both still lacking from the average Briton's diet says the report from the Food Standards Agency.
Its latest National Diet and Nutrition Survey reveals average calorie intake is similar to the year 2000 with men consuming 2,255 calories a day on average and women 1,645.
TaxPayers' Alliance senior policy analyst Ben Farrugia said: 'Patronising the public with a barrage of healthy eating campaigns was never going to improve the nation's health. As the report shows, the 'nanny state' approach doesn't work. The Government should do the public and the taxpayer a favour, and cut back on its expensive lectures.'
People now eat slightly less saturated fat than 10 years ago but consumption is still too high. Intake of harmful trans fats has dropped noticeably and is well within official guidelines but this is mainly down to action by food producers.
Adults still eat too much sugar and women are consuming slightly more than they did 10 years ago. Oily fish containing health-boosting omega3 fatty acids is still off the menu for many of us with overall consumption at less than half the recommended one portion per week.
Just 35 per cent of adults eat the recommended 'five a day' portions of fruit and vegetables despite a high-profile campaign funded by the Government. A Food Standards Agency spokeswoman explained: 'Overall the results show that the diet of the population has not changed much since 2000. We can't say yet that there is a trend for the diet of the nation getting better.'
But Dr David Haslam, chair of the National Obesity Forum, pointed out that the nation's diet had at least not got any worse and some aspects of it were marginally better. 'It is not as bad as it could have been,' he said.
'The underlying thought is that this has to improve. There may be a glim- mer of hope but it has to be used as a foundation for improving things.'

Saturated fat is bad? Really?
The cholesterol hoax started with a faulty conclusion to a 1953 study in MA, USA. This hoax is perpetuated to flourish a mega billion dollar fraudulent, useless, and toxic statin drug industry, meaningless, expensive blood testing, and a fake low-cholesterol food industry.
High saturated fat foods have multiple health- giving. properties. ie butter.

40% of the double membrane of your trillions of cells is composed of cholesterol. That gives the cell integrity, preventing chromosome-damaging carcinogens from entering the cell to perpetuatet a malignancy. H R Clark. PhD ND.
The mother hormone, pregnenolone, from which derive testosterone, DHEA etc have cholesterol as their precursor.
So-called healthy eating food guidelines are also promoted by a nonsensical food pyramid that advises one to eat carbohydrates, carbs, all day long,. Yet carbs raise heart disease-cauing tri-glycerides, cause obestity, and raise diabetes risk.
Why is there deliberate misinformation from mainstream medicine. My guess, after studying the science for half a century, is that it is to keep you sickly and thus, in the pockets of the drug industry.
Climate-Gate has exposed that bunch of pseudo-scientists. Now its time to expose the dieticians and Docs who sprout this garbage, learned, of course from pseudo scientists.
These are the Professors of Nutrition in the Med. schools, who must teach 'what is in the book'', that being the garbage.
How long would one of these Professors last . if he/she taught that the cholesteriol scare is based on a hoax, that there is NO Mediterranean diet, nor French paradox, that supplemenatl vitamins and herbs have been shown to markedly improve health and prevent disease, (over 30,0000 peer reviewed studies say so), and that they are are safe. Not a single death was reported worldwide from supplemental vitamins, herbs or amino acids in 2008.
Meanwhile in US alone, approx 250,000 . deaths from the side -effects of Meds. was reported every year.
