That why I personally try and get as many foods as possible, around 20 different vegetables and some fruits a day. I usually eat upto 26 different foods everyday.
I'd like to go over the nutritional quality of such a diet as was mentioned earlier in the thread. I have some software, If i had the names or links of the food eaten then I could see what was the deficiencies. A bit like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...oa182/DWIDP.jpg

As you pointout, there may well be chemicals as yet undiscovered in foods that are needed, so how can a software analysis be complete as it only has the knowns. The USDA database is sadly lacking in having phytonutrients included.
