there are food groups because;
-different food contain different nutrients
-different food contain desired and specified amounts of the vitamins/nutrients
-in order to classify and organize them like how the animal kingdom is classified
-so people who lack the nutrients of some food can access them and know what to eat (. example: diabetic patients)
-so people who take care of their body or who are weight conscious can know what foods contain what nutrients
