Despite gains in the amount of fruit and vegetables consumed by children, the overall intake remains low, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. According to the report, children in the U.S. consumed higher amounts of whole fruit between 2003 and 2010, although the number of vegetables they consumed did not change.

The new Vital Signs report also indicates that between the same time period, children drank less juice, ultimately getting their fruit from the fruit they consumed. Despite these gains, children still do not consume the suggested amounts of fruits and vegetables.

According to the report, approximately 60 million children in the U.S. go to child care or school, where the amount of fruit and vegetables they consume, along with other foods, and any nutritional education they receive, can impact their health and food choices throughout their lives.

The report highlights ways in which children in child care and schools, along with their providers, can consume more fruits and vegetables each day. This includes serving fruit and vegetables any time food is offered, providing nutrition education and hands-on learning experiences, including growing and preparing fruits and vegetables, and at least meeting current federal nutrition standards for meals and snacks.

According to the Harvard School of Public Health, the average American consumes only three servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Current dietary guidelines suggest five to thirteen servings of fruits and vegetables per day.
