Vital Signs: Fruit and Vegetable Intake Among Children — United States, 2003–2010

According to this month’s Vital Signs— Children are eating more fruits, but not more vegetables. Six in ten children still aren’t eating enough fruits, and nine in ten aren’t eating enough vegetables. Schools and childcare providers can help close this gap by meeting federal nutrition standards and letting children grow, taste, and prepare their own fruits and vegetables on site.
