Americans Not Eating Enough Fruit And Vegetables Says CDC Report:

"A report by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that Americans are not eating enough fruit and vegetables.

The report reveals that across America no state is achieving national targets for fruit and vegetable consumption. And across the nation as a whole, the number of people eating the target daily amount of fruit and vegetables is only half what the government is aiming for by the year 2010.

The government campaign, Healthy People 2010, was started in 2000 and gives a set of 10-year targets for improving the health of Americans. One important area of the campaign is diet, and consumption of fruit and vegetables in particular. "
