A federal report by the National Center for Health Statistics shows that about 70% of U.S. adults consumed fruit and nearly all (93%) ate vegetables during the period from 2021 to 2023, marking a slight increase in fruit consumption but a decrease in vegetable intake compared to data from 2015 to 2018. The report also highlights disparities based on gender and income levels; women were more likely than men to eat fruits, while the type of vegetables consumed varied by gender, with dark-green vegetables being less common overall despite their nutritional benefits.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
