Journal of Food Distribution Research, vol. 52, issue 01

Abstract: Students who consumed 1½-2 cups of fruits daily were more likely to be juniors; to live in households with income levels above $50,000; to be married or divorced; or to be employed. Consumption was not influenced by residence, household size, race, or gender. Forty-six percent of respondents did not eat vegetables daily; 48% ate 2-3 cups daily; and 6% consumed more than 3 cups daily. Students who worked were more likely to eat 2-3 cups of vegetables daily. Based on the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, a majority of the participants met the minimum daily recommendations for fruits and vegetables.
