as always, thank you again! Our info pages are hoarded with them and they've helped sm.

Starting this blog off with a basic poll.

There seem to be multiple definitions of what certain foods belong to what group according to a few different sources, so assume:

Meat = muscle, flesh, organs, or something that was a part of an animal

Dairy = mammal milk and foods made from it

Vegetables = a plant; the thing that is eaten contains no seeds

Fruit = a plant; the thing that is eaten contains seeds

Grains = not a vegetable or a fruit but a secret third thing. usually made into flour or similar

Other = whatever other food group that doesn't really fit into the above categories

Back in 1943, butter was its own food group. 

With wartime rationing in place, the USDA wanted to make sure Americans were getting enough vitamins and not concentrating their calorie intake on any one food. At the time, butter was thought to be a healthy fat that provided a good source of Vitamin A, so it made sense to urge people to eat some of it every day.
