When asked if they ate healthily the day before, 68 percent of people in 2010 said they did compared to 66 percent in 2011. There’s also a slight decrease in Americans who eat the recommended five or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day (57 percent in 2010 compared to 56 percent, respectively).(Photo: REUTERS/Finbarr O'Reilly)
