The 5-A-Day campaign was launched in 1991 to encourage Americans to eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables every day for better health. This campaign has now been replaced by the Center for Disease Control's (CDC) new program - Fruits & Veggies: More Matters.
One important reason for the change is that research now shows that the amount of fruits and veggies recommended per day can vary from person to person, depending on age, gender, and activity level and that "5 a day" is not the correct recommendation for many.
