#Most Kids Eat Fruits & Veggies (But Spinach, Nah) Most U s. children eat at least some fruits
and vegetables each day although few eat dark green vegetables according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Even more children ate vegetables more than 90 percent of children consumed some vegetables on a given day during the study period.
or orange vegetables (such as carrots and bell peppers) 53 percent ate starchy vegetables (such as potatoes and yams) and 60 percent ate other vegetables (such as cauliflower and celery).
However only about 12 percent consumed dark green vegetables such as broccoli and spinach. In the study foods such as french fries counted as vegetables
because they contain potatoes said study researcher Samara Joy Nielsen a nutritional epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The new study is a first step in learning about kids'fruit and vegetable consumption Nielsen said.
If the dietary guidelines are encouraging Americans and encouraging youth to increase the consumption of fruits
and vegetables then it's helpful to know who's consuming what Nielsen said. The proportion of kids who ate fruit

The U s. federal dietary guidelines recommend that people consume at least 1 cup of fruit and 1 cup of vegetables per day and often more depending on age sex and amount of physical activity.
For example kids ages 9 to 13 are recommended to consume 2 to 2. 5 cups of vegetables and 1 5 cups of fruit daily.
and vegetables kids are said eating she. Other recent studies suggest that although kids eat some fruit
and vegetables daily they may not be eating that much. A 2013 national survey of U s. high school students found that 61 percent of students ate vegetables at least once daily but just 16 percent ate vegetables three or more times per day.
The new report is published today (July 16) by the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics.

#Birthplace of Chili pepper Farming Revealed Chili peppers reign as the world's most widely cultivated spice crop;
farmers grow them in bulk and self-described chili-heads breed ever-spicier varieties of the fruit.
But before they conquered cuisines around the globe chili peppers were domesticated in Central and South america. Now scientists say they've found the hotspot where ancient farmers first cultivated Capsicum annuum the most common kind of chili pepper.
By drawing on genetic archaeological linguistic and ecological evidence the researchers found that chili farming was born in central-east Mexico.
Myth or Truth? 7 Ancient Health Ideas Explained Identifying the origin of the chili pepper is not just an academic exercise senior author of the study Paul Gepts a plant scientist at the University of California Davis said in a statement.
By tracing back the ancestry of any domesticated plant we can better understand the genetic evolution of that species and the origin of agriculture a major step in human evolution in different regions of the world.
Genetic material from dozens of samples of farm-raised and wild chili peppers seemed to point to northeastern Mexico as the origin of domestication for C. annuum the researchers found.
They even looked at which ancient vocabularies included words for chili peppers. When these factors were taken into consideration the birthplace of chili agriculture shifted farther south to Mexico's central-east region.
Christine Hastorf a researcher at the University of California Berkeley who studies ancient humans'use of plants says combining multiple data sets
These two samples might not be representative of the origin of chili pepper domestication but rather chance findings from where archaeologists happened to dig
Hastorf also thinks it is interesting that the genetic data pointed to northeastern Mexico as the origin for chili farming.
The thing that's nice about chili peppers is that they can be eaten raw they can be dried they're light they're very transportable Hastorf said.
You can imagine how fairly easily the chili pepper could spread. Hastorf also pointed out that the new research on Capsicum annuum fills in just one part of the history of domestication:
Hastorf is publishing a study on Peru's Huaca Prieta an ancient site on the Pacific coast where archaeologists have found traces of all four of South america's native chili peppers.
