Health committee  We certainly have food products represented in all 70 categories of the food guide. We have whole grain pastas, a complete line of whole grain breads, and fruits and vegetables. So I'm not sure where the figure of 50% to 60% comes from.

Health committee  Yes, there's a definite serving size, and they have to meet the criteria for the serving size specified.
