September is Fruits and Veggies--More Matters Month

 

When researchers look at how our children are eating, they find that children are eating more fruit but 6 out of 10 children are still not eating enough fruit.  When they looked at the vegetables consumption, they found that 93% of children did not eat enough vegetables.  http://www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/fruit-vegetables/
