Experts Lay Groundwork for Higher Produce Consumption to Take Root

Whether you clear your cabinets for every new diet that promises health
and beauty, just grab the bacon-topped cheeseburger or live somewhere in
the middle, you must you just must know by now that we should all eat
more vegetables and fruit. So what will make you actually do it?

"There are some signs here and there that the diet is improving," said
Kelly Brownell, an obesity expert and the dean of Sanford School of Public
Policy at Duke University. But "the change is too slow to make a big
public health difference."
.
The plodding pace of change is to be expected, said Gene Baur, co-founder
of Farm Sanctuary and an animal welfare advocate. Shifting the food
industry and our habits is like turning a mammoth aircraft carrier, he
said.
.
It's pretty easy to get through the day without eating anywhere near the
amount of produce the federal government recommends and most Americans
do. Cold cereal and milk for breakfast, ham and cheese sandwich with
tortilla chips for lunch and, for dinner, a piece of chicken, potatoes and
a salad, maybe a piece of fruit for a snack.
.
That's perhaps three servings of produce, and experts say five is barely
enough. The federal government has recommended that half your dinner plate
be produce.
.
Dr. David Katz, the founding director of Yale's Prevention Research
Center, is optimistic about the future, despite his assessment of the
present: "We have accomplished almost nothing with fruit and vegetable
intake."
.
Among the small indications of growing interest in produce are growth in
farmers markets, with more than 200 in Southern California alone, and the
rise in restaurant and supermarket choices. Nielsen consumer research
shows fruit and vegetable sales increased by volume and in dollars for
each of the last four years.
