Wisconsin Ranks #8 For Adults Who Hate Their Veggies

Kids are stereotyped for not eating their vegetables, but adults are guilty too! The Center for Disease Control analyzed data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), which estimated that only 23.2% of adults in Wisconsin and 26.3% of adults nationwide consumed vegetables three or more times per day last year. Wisconsin ranked #8, on our top 10 list for lowest adult vegetable consumption – otherwise known as our “Top 10 States Whose Adults Hate Their Veggies” list (see list below).

Top 10 States Whose Adults Hate Their Veggies
Percentage of adults who eat vegetables three or more times a day:
South Dakota – 19.6%
Louisiana – 21.3%
Mississippi – 21.6%
Iowa – 21.9%
West Virginia – 22.1%
South Carolina – 22.9%
Missouri – 23.0%
Wisconsin – 23.2%
Illinois – 23.3%
Oklahoma – 23.5%

To help combat the massive deficiency in vegetable consumption, Birds Eye has teamed up with the Meal Makeover Moms, Janice Newell Bissex, MS, RD and Liz Weiss, MS, RD, to offer delicious vegetable recipes kids will love and easy cooking tips for busy adults. Birds Eye® is also launching the “Feed Kids Better” initiative to benefit Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry Campaign. Simply “Like” Birds Eye vegetables on Facebook (www.Facebook.com/BirdsEyeVegetables) and Birds Eye will make a $1.00 donation to Share Our Strength to help provide nutritious food to families in need (up to $50,000 until December 31, 2010). You’ll also get a coupon for your next purchase of Birds Eye vegetables. So, when you share your love of vegetables by serving Birds Eye, you’re helping others do the same.
