View submission: Do you eat your 5 a day?

But they have to be 30 unique plants.

E.g. following 'five a day' I could eat a banana, some spinach, a courgette, some mushrooms and some strawberries, every single day. I would eat 35 servings of plants across the week, but they would be the same 5 plants.

Following '30 a week' one is still encouraged to have 5 servings of fruit/veg a day, but should aim to eat 30 diff plants a week. So on Monday I could eat the above but then on Tuesday I would need to pivot to tomatoes, kiwi fruit, broccoli, cabbage and some grapes, etc.

I guess the new way of thinking stresses diversity of plant intake vs just getting a number of servings.
