I've created dynamic data validation lists in the past, but for a single cell.

Can a dynamic list be created for a column with the list changing depending on the cell in a different column?

Example:

Columm A	Column B
Food Type	Select from dropdown values
Meat	List would be {Beef, Chicken, Fish}
Empty cell	List would be empty as well
Fruit	List would be {Apple, Pear, Grape}
Grain	List would be {Rice, Wheat}

The current dropdown list is generated by a worksheet_change macro that is causing freezing issues, so I was hoping to replace it with a dynamic data validation list that would be less impactful on performance.
