  The items in parenthesis correspond to this program's food groups exactly
  as you specify in section 3 of this program.
  
  The Pyramid is an outline of what to eat each day.  It's not a rigid
  prescription, but a general guide that lets you choose a healthful diet
  that's right for you.  The Pyramid calls for eating a variety of foods
  and less fat.

  See Pantry file Shopping to make a list in proportion to amounts
  recommended here.  If you buy in these proportions you may be more
  likely to follow the recommendations.
