An Oz doctor/speaker, and I've heard him speak once once stated tat there are only two food groups in his pyramid.

"There's vegetables, and there's everything else".

and also stated once "nobody gets fat on vegetables".
 
Wrong!...the two food groups are comprised of BEER and CURRY.

Remind the good man of corn-fed people and cattle.
 
For some it is and others want to make it one. Earlier this year there was an effort to make corn a vegetable. I forgot in what state this happened, just google it. The reasoning was that corn was often eaten like a vegetable. If you eat corn like a vegetable and in the same quantity, you will get fat. Hey, some folks consider potato chips and fries vegetables!

The two food groups are eatable and not eatable (yes it's a proper word). Most stuff these days is is in the not eatable category unless you spend copious hours like I do each week searching out eatable food. Big companies have a lotto answer for

Corn (more correctly maize) is, and always has been a grain.
Calling it something else doesn't change it's nature.




It's nature, huh?.

My point was that most people don't even know what they are eating.

That would be the food group that feeds most Americans: Junk Food

There are only two food groups:

The foods that require butter on or in them (vegetables, meat, pasta, etc.)

and the other foods (including the all important beer, pickled okra, and other related sub-groups).
