Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale: The only appropriate way to quickly assess a child's nutritional intake is with MyPyramid based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. All of other assessment screening tools are for use with adults or older adults. The Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool, the Nutrition Screening Initiative, and the Mini Nutrition Assessment are all easy to use. The Mini Nutrition Assessment is online.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Opponents to biotechnology cite concern over the risk of allergic reactions based on the idea that a protein from a food identified as a major allergen could be incorporated into a food that typically does not cause an allergic reaction, leaving susceptible consumers vulnerable to an allergic reaction.
