"Five
a Day" Goal Needs Work
Help!! An A.C.
Nielsen study four that only 12 percent of Americans actually eat
the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables.
Almost as bad!!
Although Americans' knowledge of the "five a day" rule
has gone up, still the recommendation rang a bell with only 40%
of the respondents.
What can we
do?? The Nielsen survey found that 71% of the respondents would
be most likely to eat more fruits and vegetable as snacks. Parents
can lead the way by being a good role model for their children.
