False. The Recommended Daily Intake of fruits and vegetables is 5-10 servings.

(Follow up question: How many servings do you eat daily?)


2) True or False: Due to the use of industrial strength pesticides and over-farming the nutrient content of fruits and vegetables sold today is decreasing at an alarming rate?
