Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The manufacturer determines serving size, even though it may differ from what the usual consumer considers realistic. For example, many consumers do not believe  cup of ice cream constitutes a serving. However, the consumer can use the label to calculate the nutrient value of the portion size that is actually consumed. Optimum nutrition is determined by the total nutrients that are consumed, not one food. The FDA does not regulate Nutrition Facts labels.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The breakfast of puffed-wheat cereal, bread, banana, nonfat milk, orange juice, and soft margarine contains the least amount of sodium when compared to the other choices.
