Answer:

The 7 groups of foods are grouped according to nutritive content. The 7 were first listed in 1942, then reduced to 4 in 1955. Later the USDA included 6 of them in its "food pyramid", which was modified in 2005 to stress 5 in greater value and 1 (fats) of lesser value.

The Seven Groups (1942)

Milk
Vegetables
Fruits
Eggs
Meat (Fish, Poultry, Cheese)
