No it doesn't. And there's no such thing as a "healthiest" food. Humans require a diverse diet, made up of a number of food groups. No one food contains complete nutrition, and no one food from food group A can replace nutrients from food group B.
Here's a link for you containing qualified advice at the Dietitians Association of Australia:
I don't disagree (had to edit because I accidentally typed agree haha must have been a Freudian slip. I actually agree with what you wrote.) with anything you said or what I read in your link. A well balanced diet is essential. What I'm saying is there are healthier foods then others. For example relying on potatoes to fill your quota of vegetable servings is not the way to go. Some vegetables are better then others. This is the link of 100 of the healthiest foods, and they show the vitamin and mineral content of each to compare from all the food groups.

For example, if you are preparing a salad, kale and spinach are more nutrient dense then iceberg lettuce or romaine. Kale would be considered a super food in that category, while iceberg lettuce is still good but not as good as kale.
Also eating at fast food restaurants is not a good idea then eating fresh food without all the additives. Even the quality of food at McDonalds in Australia is different and better then what McDonalds has in the US. Your country I think bans quite a bit of food we eat here. I'd have to look that up, but I know quite a bit of foods are banned in other countries that we eat here. We are trying to get them to change, and have had success, but still the USDA has a lot of lobbyests giving a lot of money to keep it the way the corporations want it to be to save costs of food production.
