what does a healthy diet look like?

how many and what kind of fruits?
how much vegetables/meat?
what about potatoes/rice/pasta?

Avoid trans fat, high fructose corn syrup, packaged foods with preservatives, brand name candy.  Choose wheat bread and brown rice over white bread and white rice.  Eat more vegetable carbs and whole grain carbs than empty carbs.  Eat more fish and poultry than pork and red meat.  Eat pasta, fish, eggs, random vegetables.  Look for cheap canned and packaged food that's still healthy.  Hang out with people who can cook for you.
