Revised food familes

This is a temporary notice that I have revised and vastly improved the post "Food families."  (I'm pleased to say that you can;t find this list anywhere else on the internet, that I've looked, which is why I spent so much time making it.)

Interesting factoid questions:
1.  What is the most commonly eaten fruit in the world?
2.  Is a tomato a fruit, nut, or vegetable?

More questions from some of my patients...

3.  Which fruit is used to give gin its distinctive flavor?
4.  Which vegetable is named after a part of male anatomy?
5.  Which fruit has the seeds on the outside, not the inside?
6.  What is called "food of the gods?"
7.  Which vegetables are never frozen nor canned?

Answers:
1.  Mangoes are by far the most commonly eaten fruit in the world.  They are eaten three times more than the number two fruit, bananas, and ten times more than the number three fruit, apples.
