Answer 2

I don't know what you mean by "major" nutrients. If you mean major nutrients such as the majority of nutrients that comes from the foods you eat it is no doubt vitamin c, a, d, calcium, fiber, CARBS, PROTEIN, and FAT. although fat itsn't really a "good" nutrient, you need some to function properly.

Answer 3

The recommended food groups are grouped according to nutritive content. The "Basic Seven" food groups were first listed in 1942, and then reduced to the "Basic Four" food groups in 1956. Later the USDA included 6 of them in its "food pyramid," which was modified in 2005 to stress 5 in greater value and 1 (fats) of lesser value.

The Basic Seven (1942)

• Green and Yellow Vegetables
• Oranges, Tomatoes, and Grapefruit
• Potatoes and Other Vegetables and Fruit
• Milk and Milk Products
• Protein (Meat, Fish, Poultry, Eggs, Dried Peas, Beans)
• Bread, Flour, and Cereals
• Butter and Fortified Margarine

The "5 plus 1" pyramid(2005)

• Grains
• Vegetables
• Fruits
• (narrow band) Fats and Oils
• Milk and Dairy
• Meat and Beans
