1. What percentage of Queensland adults
are overweight or obese?
Answer: d. more than 60%
In Queensland, 61% of adults are overweight or obese. This equates

In 2008, obesity cost Queensland society $11.6 billion in health
systems costs, financial losses and the cost of lost wellbeing.

Answer: c. between 20% and 25%
21% of Queensland children are overweight or obese. This rate is
slightly lower than the 23% of Australian children who are overweight
or obese. The rate generally increases with age, as does the
proportion of children or young people who are obese or very
obese.[1]
In 2005, the Smart Choices strategy was launched as one of a range of
strategies to address the issue of overweight and obesity in children
and young people.

3. Smart Choices applies to:
Answer: b. tuckshops
Smart Choices applies to food and drink supplied by schools across the
whole school environment including tuckshops, vending machines,
excursions, camps, fundraising, rewards, curriculum activities and
sporting events and clubs. It does not apply to food students bring
from home or to food and drink supplied by out-of-hours care as they
have their own set of guidelines to follow which align with the intent
of Smart Choices.
Smart Choices categorises foods and drinks into three categories :
GREEN – have plenty, AMBER – select carefully, RED – occasionally
4. Smart Choices is mandatory in:
a.
b.
c.
d.
all non-state schools
no schools
all state schools
all state and non-state schools
4. Smart Choices is mandatory in:
Answer: c. all state schools
Smart Choices became mandatory in state schools in 2007. It is
a best practice model of the supply of healthy food and drink in
school settings and is therefore strongly encouraged in nonstate schools.
5. GREEN foods and drinks should be
promoted because they:
a.
b.
c.
d.
are excellent sources of important nutrients
help to avoid excess energy (kilojoules)
are low in saturated fat and/or added sugar and/or salt
all of the above
5. GREEN foods and drinks should be
promoted because they:
Answer: d. all of the above
GREEN foods are based on the basic five food groups and The
Australian Dietary Guidelines.
Include:
• bread, cereals, rice, pasta, noodles
• vegetables, fruit, reduced-fat milk, yoghurt, cheese
• lean meat, fish, poultry
• eggs, nuts and legumes
GREEN foods should dominate menus.

in schools should be limited to:
a.
b.
c.
d.
special occasions
Fridays
no more than two days per term
no more than two occasions per term
6. The supply of RED foods and drinks in
schools should be limited to:
Answer: d. no more than two occasions per term
An occasion is any instance or event where food or drink is supplied to
students by the school. It is important for schools to monitor the number
of RED occasions they are having. The Smart Choices website has a
checklist that schools can use for this purpose.
7. Which of the following classroom
rewards should not be provided to
students:
a.
b.
c.
d.
stickers
apples
fast food vouchers
pencils
7. Which of the following classroom
rewards should not be provided to
students
Answer: c. fast food vouchers
Food and drink rewards provided to students, including vouchers,
must be from the GREEN or AMBER category. Rewarding with fast
food, lollies, or sugar sweetened drinks sends the wrong message
and reinforces the RED foods and drinks which are already being
consumed excessively by children and young people.

fat, sodium and fibre
Snack foods and drinks are assessed according to the amount of
energy (kilojoules), saturated fat, sodium and fibre per serve.
Hot food items are assessed according to the amount of energy
(kilojoules), saturated fat and sodium.
The ‘Occasional’ RED food and drink criteria tables can be used to
determine whether an item is RED.

Answer: a. 98% fat-free jelly lollies
All confectionery is classified as RED under Smart Choices.

a. excursions with food provided by the school
b. vending machines
c. parent focused trivia night
d. school sports days
10. In which of these situations would
Smart Choices not apply?
Answer: c. parent focused trivia nights
Fundraising events targeted at the wider community such as trivia
nights, race days, jazz nights and theatre restaurants do not need to
comply with the strategy. However, consideration should be given to
providing healthy food and drink options at these events as a means
of modelling to the community the school's commitment to healthy
eating.
