WE AMERICANS NEED TO DO BETTER AT EATING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

 According to the latest numbers (from 2019), the percentage of adults in the United States meeting fruit and vegetable recommendations is low. Here's the numbers and they are not good. In 2019, 12.3% of surveyed adults met the guidelines for fruit and 10% for vegetables. 

The 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans advise adults should have 1.5-2 cups equivalents of fruits and 2-3 cup equivalents of vegetables daily. It is important to eat a healthy diet to support the immune function and to prevent obesity.
