Are Americans Eating Their Vegetables?
It's recommended adults eat three or more servings of vegetables a day, along with two cups of fruit. However, many Americans consume less than two cups of veggies and less than a cup of fruit each day.
Numerous studies show people who eat the recommended five servings of fruits and veggies lower their risk of stroke, heart disease, diabetes and more.
A 2014 paper published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health found people who ate seven or more servings of vegetables were 42 percent less likely to die from any cause, than those who ate only one serving.
"People perceive vegetables as being difficult to manage," she said. "Start with expensive. There's a lot of waste. They have to be peeled. They have to be washed. They have to be cut. They aren't as filling as junkier foods. The barriers are real." - Marion Nestle, Nutrition Professor NYU
