Worlds Healthiest Foods

I found an article here describing the worlds healthiest foods. And their basis on coming to this conclusions was pretty darned simple. Here are their parameters:

1) They are most nutritious
2) They are whole foods
3) They are familiar foods
4) They are readily available
5) They are affordable
6) They taste good

I am eliminating the meat portion of these foods, but you can grab thee entire article for your friends who still may be consume meat and would like to see the better options out there for them.
