Health and Nutrition habits:
47% of people eat meat everyday
The healthy eating movement has been thriving in the U.S. and it accelerated under the Obama administration as First Lady Michelle Obama picked nutrition as her cause.
With summer coming up, ReportLinker conducted a survey to examine Americans’ health and eating habits.
Main findings show that:
When making nutrition choices:
- Almost a third of Americans say they eat fast food weekly
- 84% of people don’t eat 5 fruits and vegetables per day as advised by health professionals
70% of people are not ready to have a vegetarian meal at least once a week

- And for 69% of vegans and vegetarians, health is the prime reason for making this lifestyle change, while 19% say they made the switch out of concerns for the environment.

- 72% of women are more likely to say they don’t work out or play sports compared to 45% of men
