Are you in the 86%?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
According to the Produce for Better Health Foundation 86 percent of Americans do NOT consume the recommended minimum five daily servings of fruits and vegetables. Quick math tells us that 14 percent of you are enjoying a respectable amount of produce daily. Now it just seems weird to me that so many people are NOT eating their veggies because salads are so popular at restaurants and grocery stores do seem to be restocking their produce sections constantly.
Do you think these sad statistics seem valid?? Put down that apple (or bag of chips) and let me know.
Jump start your veggie intake with suggestions from Cynthia Hizer’s list of in season fruits and vegetables at: In Season
