balance meals by making sure every meal has at least two vegetables of
different classes and colors, at least 1 fruit (different kinds over the course of a day),
a grain (botanically and nutritively, corn is a grain, not a vegetable) a source
of protein, milk for children 18 and under. Serve dark fish and white
fish each at least once a week, often more frequently. Over the course
of 2 days try to include at least one each of fruits and vegetables
that are red, yellow, blue, purple, green and orange, at least one of
each, since colors represent the presence of different nutrients.
Insist on carrots at least 4 times a week and something from the cabbage
family at least 4 times a week because of the nutritional powerhouses
these are. For the same reason at least 3 bananas per person per week.
Something leafy every day. From what I have read, planning around this
kind of balance should do a pretty good job of getting in all the
nutrients you need.

It's a plan I make up on my own, based partly on what's good in the
market and partly on what i think we need regardless of price.

Different colors and classes of fruits and vegetables means that a meal
Will have carrots (orange root) and cooked collards (leafy green) but
not Collards and mixed green salad in the same meal. Might have salad
with the salmon and beet soup for the first course (leafy green and
purple root). An apple (high in soluble fiber) and an orange (citrus,
high in vit C) might go in a lunch box. The cantaloupe (melon, orange, rich in vit A)
for dessert for dinner and a banana at breakfast.

Tomatoes have been shown to prevent prostate cancer in men. I prevent it
in my husband by putting tomato slices in his lunch sandwich every day.
They also have a lot of vit C. I've heard that cancer-preventing
lycopene works better when cooked (making spaghetti sauce better than
raw) or when in the presence of fat--and the butter in the sandwich
helps that.
