America isn’t growing enough fresh produce to meet its needs, according to recent data released by the Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Services, with just 1.65 cups of vegetables available per person per day as of 2013, though dietary guidelines recommend a daily consumption of 2.5 to 3 cups.
As reported by National Public Radio (NPR), and posted at GovernmentSlaves.info, even worse is the fact that the supply of available produce has been falling since 2000, and it’s getting worse in part due to the federal government’s subsidizing of junk food and increased immigration into the country.
The amount of available veggies per day for Americans peaked at about 1.80 cups as the world entered the 21st century, but since then the supply has fallen some 15 percent to its current level in 2013, the latest data available. The Department of Agriculture’s figures include both domestically grown and imported produce.
As further reported by GovernmentSlaves.info:
“Around 50 percent of the vegetables currently available in the United States are potatoes and tomatoes, and most people consume those in unhealthy forms such as ketchup, French fries and pizza, the report said. The third most common vegetable was lettuce.”
