Selon Eurostats, une personne sur sept (14,1 %) de 15 ans ou plus mange au moins cinq portions de fruits et légumes par jour... tandis qu'une sur trois (34,4 %) n'en mange pas quotidiennement.
Cette consommation diffère selon les pays. Si la France se trouve dans cette moyen européenne, les pays de l'Est de l'Europe, dont la Roumanie en sont très éloignés.
The daily consumption of fruit and vegetables differs widely between EU Member States, with those aged 15 or over not eating fruit and vegetables on a daily basis ranging from almost two-thirds of the population in Romania (65.1%) to slightly over 15% in Belgium (16.5%). On the other hand, the share of those eating at least 5 portions daily varied from a third in the United Kingdom (33.1%) to less than 5% in both Romania (3.5%) and Bulgaria (4.4%).
Different for men and for women, daily consumption of fruit and vegetables seems also to be influenced by the level of education. The higher the education level is, the higher the share of the "5-a-day" population is.
