Keep eating more fruits and veggies

Eating report card

If there's one simple thing you can do for better health, it's to eat more fruits and vegetables. That's why the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention developed a plan in 2005 to get people to do just that. The plan's report card is in, evaluating the progress that has been made to get people to meet their recommended intake (two cups of fruits and 2½ cups of vegetables for the average adult). The report gave adults an "F" for an average intake that falls far below recommended levels.
