I usually get wheat tortillas, chicken, black beans, and brown rice, corn. I try to skip the creams and condiments but still would this be a generally healthy option or am I just fooling myself?
I think that white potatoes, corn, and other dried beans belong more in the starch category than the vegetable one. (Yeah, dried beans are more of a plant-protein, but not really what people need from fruits and veggies.)

How is fruit which contains natural sugar any different than candy/artificial sugar? Does the body process it differently?
