Abstract
The foods which we eat may roughly be classified into building, energy, protective and regulative foods. No demarcation line can be drawn to determine which foods should fall definitely under each class, because most foods contain more than one of the food groups at the same time. The element which forms the bulk of a certain food decides where it should belong for general purposes of classification. It is no wonder then that one food should belong to different food groups at the same time but of varying importance.
