Under its new program, the Agriculture Department will replace the old "5 A Day" slogan calling for consumption of five servings of fruit or veggies a day with new guidelines under the message, "Fruits and Veggies – More Matters." The new message comes from a revamping of the government's food pyramid. The guidelines will include specific amounts of produce, measured in cups, rather than the vague "servings." And they will vary by age, sex and level of activity for everyone over the age of two.
