There's no good answer to this one, because we humans need a range of nutrients from a variety of foods to be healthy.

However, among the perfect survival foods would be beans, which pack protein and a load of other good stuff. If you could pick two things to eat, go for kale as a healthy leafy green next. It's particularly rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber, says our Bad Medicine Columnist Christopher Wanjek.
