Here is a quote from the food groups that are encouraged

KEY RECOMMENDATIONS
Consume a sufficient amount of fruits and vegetables while staying within energy needs. Two cups of fruit and 2½ cups of vegetables per day are recommended for a reference 2,000-calorie intake, with higher or lower amounts depending on the calorie level.
Choose a variety of fruits and vegetables each day. In particular, select from all five vegetable subgroups (dark green, orange, legumes, starchy vegetables, and other vegetables) several times a week.
Consume 3 or more ounce-equivalents of whole-grain products per day, with the rest of the recommended grains coming from enriched or whole-grain products. In general, at least half the grains should come from whole grains.
Consume 3 cups per day of fat-free or low-fat milk or equivalent milk products.
Key Recommendations for Specific Population Groups
Children and adolescents. Consume whole-grain products often; at least half the grains should be whole grains. Children 2 to 8 years should consume 2 cups per day of fat-free or low-fat milk or equivalent milk products. Children 9 years of age and older should consume 3 cups per day of fat-free or low-fat milk or equivalent milk products.

It is important that we psoriatics keep in mind that there may be individual food items in these recommendations that need to be avoided. i.e. someone with an intolerance for gluten would want to avoid products that contain gluten. Someone that has an intolerance to lactose would likely need to avoid or at least limit their consumption of dairy products.
All in all though, good info from an organization (US Department of Agriculture (USDA)) that holds the consumers interest at heart.
