Abstract

When it comes to eating fruits and vegetables, the average U.S. diet falls short of Federal recommendations. According to the 2020–2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, about 90 percent of the U.S. population does not meet the recommendation for vegetables and 80 percent consumes too little fruit. There are many factors that could influence food choices, including taste, convenience, and the link between diet and health. For lower income households, affordability can also be a factor.
