Today, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released the “State Indicator Report on Fruits and Vegetables, 2009.” This document summarizes data for fruit and vegetable consumption from multiple sources and, for the first time, breaks the results down by state. It also discusses policies and environmental supports that can make it easier for everyone to eat more fruits and vegetables.
The State Indicator Report shows that all states in the country fall short of national objectives for consumption of fruits and vegetables, which aim for 75% of Americans to eat at least two servings of fruit, and for 50% of Americans to eat at least three servings of vegetables daily.
