Trend in the percentage of adults eating five or more fruits and vegetables daily

The percentage of adults eating five or more fruits and vegetables each day has been virtually unchanged over the past 10 years.  Only about 20% of adults eat the recommended number of servings of fruits and vegetables.  The trend in Missouri is very similar to the nationwide trend.  For additional information review "Fruit and Vegetable Consumption Data and Statistics" on the Centers for Disease Control web site.
