Dr. Neal Barnard, of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, discusses the "new" four food groups.

The "old" four food groups--meat, dairy, cereals, fruits/vegetables--seemed to suggest that half of all our foods be from animals.

The "new" food groups--legumes, fruit, vegetables, whole grains, is what he recommends to vegans/vegetarians.

You might add nuts and seeds to the legumes group to help ensure you get complete proteins, essential fatty acids and essential oils.

Many vegetarians also include dairy products and eggs, which are rich in protein, too.
