Yes, I believe you're right - it was sooo long ago now, that I can't recall exactly. It's just so difficult to find the exact information now, and the only image I found illustrating the 4 food groups from back in the 50's and early 60's is so small that I can't see what it says about each food group. Food recommendations had started changing by the time that college textbook came out in the 70's, so mostly going by memory here. |
