Recommendation 1 talks about "plant-based diets". The word "diet" is used to describe the usual food and drink of a person and not a regulated selection of foods because of medical reasons. "Plant-based" makes reference to all foods that come from plants and so animal meats or animal products like eggs and cheese are not included.

Recommendation 4 and Recommendation 5 list plant-foods in detail.
