US Consumpton Of Fresh Vegetables To Rocket In 2004
Thanks to moves by the US Department of Agriculture, US consumption of fresh vegetables is due to rocket in 2004.
The Department of Agriculture has been anxiously looking for ways to boost consumption of fresh vegetables within the US population which nutritionists say is far too reliant on junk food.
Fresh vegetables are a vital part of a healthy diet and are said to reduce the risk of obesity, heart disease and cancer.
After many months of research today’s decision is, the Department says, the boldest move to improve the situation ever taken.
From the 1st of June, French-Fries, which the average American eats 28 pounds of per year, and which, previously were classed as Junk food are to be reclassified as “Fresh Vegetables” in the department's statistical analysis.
Brian Ull told BIGfib, “This move will boost the average consumption of fresh vegetables by an average of 28 pounds per person per year while simultaneously reducing the consumption of junk foods by an amazing 28 pounds per person per year. America’s health can only benefit.”
