35 or more: High Five! You are well on your way to robust health, thanks to five servings a day of fruits and vegetables. 20-35: Almost to your goal; try to increase the variety and servings of fruits and vegetables you eat, starting today. 10-20: Send yourself on a field trip to the produce department right away and pick up some of those precut vegetables for tonight’s dinner. Less than 10: Vegephobic? Re-educate yourself to the health benefits you may be missing. 1 Vegetarian Times, March 1997 |
