eating habits; less consumption of junk food and more consumption of fruits and
vegetables, is compulsory for a physical and mental healthy life. Official guidance reveals the fact that five
portions of vegetables and food are essential but recently the health experts

raising the prices of junk food and cutting down the prices of fruits and
vegetables so that the people have easy access to healthy food. Lack of
vegetables and fruits has serious impacts on the health of people giving rise
to type 2 diabetes, heart disease and obesity. Defra, the Government’s food and
farming department has revealed the results in updated version of Food Statistics pocket book 2013; over 30% increase in
