42% of Kentucky adults not eating enough fruit and vegetbales

A new statewide polls finds 42 percent of Kentucky adults say they aren’t getting the recommended daily amount of fruits and vegetables mostly due to costs of healthy foods which make them inaccessible to some low-income households.

Nearly one-quarter of low-income earning adults said they didn’t have easy access to fresh fruits and vegetables and whole-grain foods. Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky President Ben Chandler said better eating would lead to better results for the commonwealth.

Chandler said the number of Kentuckians not getting the right amount of those foods is probably even higher than the study suggests.

“The fact that four out of ten—a little bit north of four out of ten—self-report, would suggest that there’s probably a higher number of folks than that who are not getting enough fruits and vegetables.”
