Q: When it comes to our health, a majority of Canadians don’t do this. What is it?
A: Fail to eat the recommended amount of fruit and vegetables.
Further, these Canadians were substantially deficient in their consumption of vegetables and fruit: 89% of older adult men and 88% of older adult women (aged 51+), and 91% of younger adult men and women (aged 19-50) did not eat the daily recommended amount, On average younger men and women reported consumption of 2.4 and 2.5 servings respectively, while older men ate 2.8 servings and older women consumed 3.4 servings. One quarter (23%) of all Canadians surveyed did not consume any vegetables or fruit in their account of “yesterday’s” meals and snacks.
