If TV commercials are an indicator, I would have to agree with this study. There are little to no ads for fruits and vegetables and way too many for fast food. Also, there seem to be a lot of commercials for fiber supplements (which are usually unnecessary with a diet containing a lot of fruit and vegetables) and their good friends laxatives. Also, you can get 100% of your RDA of almost any vitamin and mineral if you eat mostly fruit and vegetables so you don't need that Centrum you saw on TV last night either.
