Young people eat less fruit

The results from a large ISAFRUIT consumer survey were published today in the Journal Appetite. It revealed that compared to older age groups, young people eat much less of the most common fruits in Europe; apple and peach. Of the 4900 consumers surveyed, 54.5 % of respondents aged 61-70 reported eating more than 5 apples per week. In the age group 15-35 years, the corresponding number was only 17.4 %. For peaches, a similar tendency was observed, with 35.6 % of the oldest respondents and only 15.7 % of the youngest eating more than 5 peaches per week. The survey also demonstrated that men are eating significantly lower amounts of apples and peaches than women and are more liable to avoid these fruits altogether (Read the full press release: Download Young people eat less fruit).

It is true that most young people don't like fruits and veggies. But these foods are very vital for our healthy diet. So I guess when our toddler is on the stage of learning, we should train them to eat healthy food.

Stay at the scene until the police arrive and don't talk to anyone.

People, both young and old, should watch what they eat. Fruits are a healthy choice, but too much of certain foods can build up some acid which could damage your teeth later on. A healthy diet is valuable since it would keep both your body and teeth strong.
