Americans Score an “F” For Fruit and Vegetable Consumption

If I blogged about this in the past, sorry, but it stands repeating.

The CDC developed a National Action Plan in 2005 to improve public consumption of fruits and vegetables.

Their goal was to get each American to eat 2 servings of fruit and 2.5 servings of vegetables a day.

Guess what percentage of American’s accomplished that goal? 6%.

No, that is NOT a typo. Only 6% of Americans ate 2 servings of fruit and 2.5 servings of vegetables a day.

Are you one of the 6%? I think that number is pathetically low. I eat at least double that, sometimes triple.
