Default if youwere stranded on a desert island, what food group would you choose?

Hey, silly question, but i'm at work and bored.

If youw ere stranded on a desert island and could choose just one food group on which to subsist on, which food group would it be?

Meats
Breads, pastas, rice
Fruits and veggies

I think i would pick fruits and veggies cus the other groups would get monotonous more quickly for me

Breads, pastas and rice. Unfortunately with no dairy, I couldn't have cheese and butter with them.

You would probably be limited to seafood and probably eventually suffer from scurvey unless you can find a vitamin C source.

I remember distincly learning the four food groups, Salt, Sugar, Grease, and Chocolate. Of course when I learned those I was in a profession that called for 24 hour shifts, hours of boredom puncuated with moments of shear terror. Of the four I am teaching my youngest son I would have to pick fruit and vegie.

I guess I'd say fruits and veggies. Scurvy sounds like a bummer.

If you had rice you could live quite well as there is a plenty of protein it. I think if you just took meat you'd get some sort of bowel disease before too long.
