A much larger excerpt from Dietary Guidelines in the 21st Century - a Time for Food.

More of the fundamental wisdom of Dr. Mozaffarin and Dr. Ludwig:
Based primarily on consideration of a few nutrients, a national obesity prevention program categorizes whole-milk yogurt and cheese with donuts and french fries as foods to eat occasionally; sauteed vegetables and tuna canned in vegetable oil with processed cheese spread and pretzels as foods to eat sometimes; and fresh fruits and vegetables with trimmed beef and fat-free mayonnaise as foods to eat almost anytime. Taking the nutrient approach to self serving extremes, the food industry "fortifies" highly processed foods, like refined cereals and sugar-sweetened beverages, with selected micronutrients and recharacterizes them as nutritious.
Best conclusion actually in the paper? "Nutrient targets in dietary guidelines issued by governments and organizations should largely be replaced by food-based targets."
