“…Our findings illuminate other reports of socio-economic and racial/ethnic differences in fruit and vegetable consumption. Analysing data obtained from 1266 young adult African American and European American men and women aged 20-38 years enrolled in the Bogalusa Heart Study, Deshmukh-Taskar et al reported that race and education, but not income, were associated with fruit and vegetable consumption (13) .

Parental health awareness may help children and adolescents develop strategies for choosing healthy foods at home and in social situations.…”
