Is this simple for "overall" health?

I eat a lot more than they recommend in quite a few of those categories.
 
i agree with the stuff on that list although i'm a vegetarian. i normally eat all the other items on a regular basis though. and i'd like to add flax seed to the list.
 
I have like, talipa and chicken breast everyday. And like 2L of milk.

Damnit I am doing more stuff wrong..
