90% of US has a poor diet, and 25% doesn’t exercise

Specifically, just 10 percent of Americans eat enough vegetables, and only 12 percent eat enough fruit, according to recent responses to the CDC's survey, the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance system.

Recent responses also reveal that 25 percent of Americans don't do any exercise outside of any work activity.

Overall, respondents reported eating fruit a median of just once per day and eating vegetables a median of 1.6 times a day.

People aged 51 and older were more likely than younger adults to get their vegetables.

Hispanic adults were more likely to eat enough fruit compared with non-Hispanic White adults.

Non-Hispanic Black adults in California, Massachusetts, and Nevada were less likely to get enough vegetables compared with non-Hispanic White adults.

The recent survey results found that 25 percent of people weren't doing any exercise outside work activities.

Seven states—Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, West Virginia—had 30 percent or more adults report inactivity.

Across all the states and territories, Hispanic adults had the highest prevalence of physical inactivity, with 32 percent saying they didn't exercise outside of work, while non-Hispanic Asian adults had the lowest, with just 20 percent inactive.

According to the government's Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, adults should do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise (such as brisk walking or raking leaves) or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity (such as jogging, shoveling snow, or taking a vigorous exercise class) per week.
