Appropriate Query

Does anyone else remember learning about the "combination" food group during elementary and middle school health classes? I was just talking to Hook about this, and he claims never to have heard of "combination foods!" WHAT? Who doesn't remember the doubtful logic used to cast pizza in a healthy light - a healthiness attributed to the fact that pizza contains elements of the grain, dairy, vegetable, and (possibly) meat groups?

Well, I do.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

WHAT!!!???

Hook did suggest that the "combination group" of foods was only part of Minnesota curricula, but I'm not so sure - it seems like this concept would be taught nationwide, no?

I also know nothing of this.

Oh, man: maybe the "combination group" was just my school's way of endorsing pizza.
