[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I buy a bagged salad mix that might be 5 types of lettuce and other leaves in one. Does that count as 5?

And then chocolate chip banana bread also has 5: sugarcane, wheat, cacao, vanilla, bananas. Or 6 if you make it with oil (or more if it's a vegetable oil blend, even though olive is probably healthier).

Should those be counted the same in this exercise?[/quote]

According to the people who believe in this, the 5 types of greens, and the banana, and the wheat if it's whole wheat count.  The sugar, cacao, vanilla, and oil have all be detached from their fiber, so they don't count.  If you replaced the oil or egg with applesauce, then that would count.

And yes, buying bagged salad mix, as opposed to buying a bag of baby spinach is the kind of shift that people who believe in this would do.  Or, for the kid like mine who takes nuts and an apple for snack most days, buying mixed nuts, and 5 different types of apples, instead of buying a bag of almonds and 5 honeycrisps.  [/quote]
