5 food groups or 4 food groups?
On the front page of section C (local) in The Daily Sun, there's a column with the following heading: "Increase your fruits, vegetables with MyPlate"
The column lists 5 food groups:
Fruit
Vegetables
Grains
Protein
Dairy
My question: Why is "dairy" listed as a separate group when it's clearly a protein?
By law, the dairy industry is not even allowed to say that dairy helps build strong bones. But the U.S.D.A gives it the status of a separate food group as though it's something special.
