The State Indicator Report on Fruits and Vegetables, 2009 shows that Minnesota, along with all other states in the country, is not meeting national objectives for consumption of fruits and vegetables.
The report for the first time provides state data on fruit and vegetable consumption, environmental supports and policies that may help Americans eat more fruits and vegetables. The consumption data come from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) health surveillance systems.
With a national Healthy People 2010 goal of increasing the proportion of Americans eating at least 2 fruits daily to 75% and increasing the proportion of Americans eating at least 3 vegetables daily to 50%, only 27.3% and 25.8% of Minnesota adults met the goals, respectively.
