Oh fer christ's sake
"Some research is now suggesting 3 portion of fruit and veg a day" -

There is no set amount, the point was to get the population eating more fruit and veg. 5 was chosen purely for alliteration purposes.

Apply some simple logic; do all portions of fruit and veg contain similar amount of vitamins, minerals and other assorted goodness? Do they balls.

alliteration, eh? ...that word.
I do not think it means what you think it means.

I heard that it was 7...
... but they thought that 7 was unmanageable so they lowered it to 5.
