Five or Ten a Day - do you?

I've just rebooted my plant-based wholefood diet, so yesterday's meals included 6oz mixed berries, a big mixed salad with tinned flageolet beans plus two kiwifruit for dessert, and a stirfry that totalled 14oz of veg and salad (I usually measure in grams, but I'm using a US meal plan). I'm pretty sure I'm getting at least 10 of my 5-a-day!

I remember reading somewhere that the recommended amount is actually at least 7-8 a day, but when the policy makers came to create their campaign, they scaled it back to 5 because they knew most people would be so put off by a higher target that they wouldn't even try.
