British Children's Diet Lacks Fruit and Vegetables

 

LONDON (Reuters Health) - As many as 200,000 children in England and

Wales have eaten either no fruit or no vegetables in the past week, a

survey released on Tuesday suggests.

 

The poll of 2,635 schoolchildren aged 11 to 16 showed that 6% had

eaten no fruit in the past week, while 5% had eaten no vegetables.

The survey, commissioned by The Cancer Research Campaign and the

supermarket chain Iceland, was conducted by MORI.
