Safe Food vs. Dangerous Food

I can have all the brilliant orange cheesey puffs I want. I can live on it and I can feed my kids nothing but this. That’s legal. They’ll need something to drink so I’ll get some cola to go with it. I believe cheesey puffs would be at the big fat end of the food pyramid with the carbs. Puffs are kinda like bread. Sort of. Or… is it a vegetable?
