is this healthful?

I finally went to the grocery store with a list today. This, I think, saved me money, and it also has given me a chance for self-assessment. Below, for those who care about such things, is a list of the foods that I typically buy and enjoy; I'm wondering whether it's "good for me" enough and, if not, where I could stand to improve.

(Unrelatedly, I also revised my resume this afternoon, and am pretty happy with the results. Now I just need to get a volunteer resume written and I'll be ready to see if Sanctuary wants me.)
