Well, I do believe there is such a thing as a "well balanced diet" which includes food from all groups.

- gayprogrammer 11y agoThe context of balance is the very thing being studied. How are the food groups defined? Why isn't ethanol included as a food group? Do you consider fiber in its own group? Taking "balanced" portions from a set of groups makes the context in which the groups are defined very important.
- omginternets 11y agoThat's nice, but you've said basically nothing. What are the food groups? What's the right proportion? Does it vary with age/ethnicity/nurture? These are precisely the questions being examined, so telling people to eat a balanced diet without telling them what that actually is, doesn't help.
