This morning I have been compiliing a list of fruits and vegetables that are contained within the 7 color categories. Some say there are only 5, others say there are 7. I have listed 7 here because I will trying to eat something from all 7 categories on a pretty consistent basis. You will notice that there are some things in two categories. This is because a certain website will list it in one category, while another will place it in a different one. Here is the list in case you are interested:

Well, there you have it. I have printed out a copy of this and out it on my refrigerator so I can see exactly which categories I am eating everyday. I can't say that I will eat all 7 everyday, but that is my goal. Enjoy!
What a perfectly beautiful list!! Sounds delicious. I know that they've discovered that color means something in the fruit and veg kingdom. :) I think color has meaning everywhere. Deep thought, if you really think about it, huh? I don't know what they mean, though. Something about God. As usual. :) I'm thinking possibly emotion? Or ... truth? hmmm.
