Yeah I do agree about the fruits, that is a little strange. Fruit would probably sit somewhere between veggies and beans. Maybe they just average it?

I think it’s just the issue of trying to simplify things. You can endlessly get into the details and end up with a monstrously complicated and useless infographic that is technically accurate. For example, even in the category of vegetables alone - carrots are technically more like potatoes, but colloquially still seen as a vegetable. And corn, despite being a grain is nutritionally more on the starchy side making that also more like potatoes.

But if the graphic reflected all that, the basic idea would get lost.
