ANS: D
Young adults, though identified as underinsured and having limited access to primary care, are identified as a group knowledgeable about the benefits of healthy eating. This age group (20-31) has been identified in numerous national surveys to not regularly engage in healthy eating habits especially eating below the recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables and a diet high in fast foods. Earlier studies among college students identified the following barriers: cost, stress, lack of knowledge related to food preparation, and peer influence and lack of time to balance busy lives.
