According to the American Journal of Preventative Medicine, less than 10% of U.S. kids are eating the recommended servings of fruits per day. A September 2009 report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control found that no U.S. state is meeting national objectives for consumption of fruits and vegetables with only one in four adults meeting recommended consumption levels.
