Dear Nurse Brenda:

How many servings of fruits and vegetables does the U.S. National Research Council recommend we eat daily?

The U.S. National Research Council recommends that you consume at least five servings of fruits and vegetables per day to maintain a proper supply of food derived antioxidants for your body. Research indicates that only five percent of the U.S. population consumes five servings of fruits and vegetables per day.

That’s a lot of food, Nurse Brenda. How can I get these servings without having to shop for, store, wash, chop, peel, (and end up throwing away when they go bad) all the fresh items necessary to meet these dietary demands? I do have other things to do with my time.
