So, the Canadian Nutrition Society advises everybody that roughly half their plate of every meal should be filled with fruits and/or veggies.  My question is, if you get a second plate of food, do you have to fill it with veggies, too or do they just mean 1/2 a plate of fruits and veggies total? I ask because last night I ate two entire large pizzas (16") but I also ate a whole Greek salad so I should be good, right?

Also, "half your plate" is a measure of area coverage, not mass. Am I fulfilling the requirements by fanning out one really big leaf of lettuce so it covers half the plate?

Follow up: do you actually have to eat the vegetables or just cover half your plate with them? The campaign doesn't really make that clear.

Are mozzarella balls a "vegetable"? the picture on the website would seem to suggest they are.

I googled the Food Pyramid to see if it could shed any light on the subject, but now I'm even more confused! How the hell am I supposed to read this? Without proportions these images are meaningless.
