i have yes, and more to boot! i've had a banana, a pear, blackcurrant juice, leeks, parsnips, a handful of raisens, and carrots. so i've had 7 and will probably have another two or three for my dinner too :)
5 a day is the recommended amount for this country, and for meat eaters, but in some other countries they recommend more like 8-10 portions a day. for veggies and vegans too, you should eat 8-10.
i don't personally think it's a load of rubbish to make us buy more products either. fresh fruit and veg are good for you, as they contain vitamins and minerals that your body needs.

not yet but I will by the end of the day
I'm having a salad with spinach, carrots, red cabbage, tomato, and raisins; an orange, an apple, some grapes, and some strawberries, and some broccoli. I don't think it's a load of rubbish. I've been eating lots of fruits and veggies my whole life and I think it's a major contributor to my good health and regularly.

If you eat a reasonably normal diet, I don't believe you need all that extra fruit and veg - in most cases it's a means of getting you to buy ready-made "smoothies", so while you're getting some of the recommended dose in that, you're ALSO getting the added rubbish in the form of preservatives, so just eat normally. We all did before they came up with that one anyway, didn't we ! ! !

No I have only had one portion so far, intend to make up to 5 before the day is out.
It is not a load of rubbish, without them, your health would suffer and you would be very spotty get rickets and possibly even scurvy.

I have had mine - I put them into smoothies as I wasnt eating enough fruit before. I dont think its rubbish though - I think it is a way of encouraging us to by good foods and to stop us buying so much processed rubbish that is no good for us.

Aswell as a load of rubbish, so far today I have had two of the five a day and plan on having at least two more. Try and get my five a day most days!

I get my 5 a day, and then some. I juice carrots, celery, parsley, swiss chard and apple at least twice a day. I eat raw radishes for breakfast (I love them) I eat a big crunchy salad for lunch, with loads of raw veggies. For dinner, I have veggie stir fry, grilled veggie kababs, or another salad, with some type of grain. I nibble on raw carrots, nuts, celery and radishes, snow peas or other veggies throughout the day. I LOVE my veggies-especially raw, and straight from my garden. Yum No need for meat.

I think it is a good requirement, however, I sometimes do have 5 fruit/veggies a day and sometimes I have my cheat days and I dont touch a piece of fruit.
