Summary

Parents who frequently eat out are also less likely to have fruits and vegetables at home. The reason families gave for not eating fruits and vegetables was that they didn’t like the taste. To make advances in improving the diets of families, public health officials need to more carefully consider what people are eating when dining out.

• Research at Saint Louis University finds that families who eat out are more likely to skimp on the fruits and vegetables.
• "The more often parents eat out, the lower their intake of fruits and vegetables," says Amanda Harrod, a researcher at Saint Louis University School of Public Health who is presenting her findings at the American Public Health Association conference this week.
• Harrod studied young families who live in Missouri's bootheel and found that about 73 percent of the parents don't consume five or more fruits and vegetables each day, the amount recommended to guard against diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
