100% Juice is Not a Serving of Produce!

100% vegetable or fruit juice counts as a serving of vegetables or fruit by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).  Well, quite frankly, it’s NOT a serving of anything but liquid sugar.  You’re either eating a whole piece of fruit or a whole vegetable, the way nature intended it, or you’re simply not getting a serving of produce.  This goes for supplements (powders, capsules and pills), yogurt, french fries, frozen yogurt, vegetable snack chips and any other product some agency or company has defined as a substitute for produce.  Fruits and vegetables are currently way too complicated to reproduce – so there’s NO substitute for produce.
