Poll: 90% of Americans Think They Eat Healthy!

Are people in America fooling themselves or is all the health data pumped out by the government a pile of lies?

According to a recent Consumer Reports survey, 9 out of 10 Americans said that they eat a healthy diet with the recommended servings of fruit and vegetables!

Well maybe if potato chips, fries, and sugary fruit drinks count as fruit and vegetables. The survey also showed that only 11% of Americans thought of themselves as overweight, when government statistics show that 68% of Americans are classified as obese.

So how do we explain such a vast discrepancy between reported reality and people's perceptions? Participate in the poll and comments below.
