Fruit and veg consumption 'near bottom of European league'
www.gdaguru.com today reports that Britons eat less fruit and vegetables than people in any other major European country, a study has found. 15-01-2012
Only those in Finland, the Czech Republic, Sweden and Iceland eat less, found the report by the European Food Information Council.
On average, Britons eat 258 grams, or 9.1 ounces, of fruit and vegetables a day - significantly short of the 400g (14.1oz) minimum recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
That figure - and those measured in the report - excludes potatoes and other starchy vegetables.
The study suggests successive attempts to get people to eat 'five-a-day' items of fruit and veg have had limited impact - although consumption has increased since the 1970s.
Tam Fry, a spokesman for the National Obesity Forum, commented: "It is disastrous that we eat so little fruit and veg.
"It is hugely important in terms of nutrition, and they are also foodstuffs that don't tend to have lots of calories."
