Eat your veg, young man! Why Millennials are struggling with their greens

Young men who consume sufficient amounts of fruit and vegetables are likely to have learned to cook for themselves, like the student in this filepic.

A recent study, published in the journal Nutrients on Aug 14, 2019, shows why British men aged 18-24 are struggling to eat even three portions of fruit and vegetables a day.

As well as not having the culinary skills to cook for themselves, the researchers found that young men are more focused on gaining muscle and improving their physique, rather than eating a healthy diet.
