Possibly a very stupid question.

Does bread (made from wheat) count as part of the 'five a day' thing?

If not? why not?

This is the same kind of question as the question I asked my mother the other day...
"Why do chips not count towards five-a-day? They're potatoes cut up..If I ate a potato it would count..."
She said they don't count but didn't know why. I want to know why!

Same applies to popcorn. And crisps.

Potatoes don't count. It's because potatoes are essentially starch and contain little in the way of vitamins, etc. unlike other vegetables or fruits.
