Are you a healthy eater?

According to a survey from Consumer Reports, 9 out of 10 Americans give themselves credit for a diet that is "at least somewhat healthy".

But...here is what some of them owned up to:

• 43% drank at least one full calorie soda or Carmel Frappuccino per day (even those who said they were "dieting")
• 58% said they got the recommended five or more servings per day of fruits and vegetables, but when presented a list of 33 veggies-15 of them were described as 'rarely' or 'never' eaten. Contrary to the CDC's September report that showed that two thirds of Americans eat only 1 serving of fruit and vegetables each day-or skip them entirely.
• 36% were overweight, according to BMI; 21% were obese. 1/3 of people who said they had a healthy weight were actually in the overweight category (according to the BMI chart)

This poses questions of what Americans think a 'healthy diet' consist of! Do you eat healthy? Do you consider yourself normal weight...or would you like to know what category you fall into?
