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.
