The way the food pyramid is designed, many people will be overweight, some morbidly obese, some obese, some pudgy, etc. What our government considers food should be a crime. If it isn't on the outer sides of a grocery store, do not buy it. Fresh fruit, vegetables, dairy, eggs, meat, seafood. Grow what you can. If you can have chickens, goats, etc, do it. Get heirloom seeds to grow the produce that grows easily where you are. When you can, create a greenhouse and grow items you would love to eat. Try aquaponics, etc.
