Did you know that the Chinese have, for centuries, been classifying 

foods on the basis of the types of energy they contain? This classification 

is a part of the Chinese way of explaining the universe and everything

in it, called  Feng Shui (Fung Shway.)  In this system, there are five 

types of energy, called the Five Elements.  All foods are said to

contain one of these five types or phases:

Wood  *  Water  *  Earth  *  Fire  *  Metal
