Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

Adolescents prefer to imitate peers who like low nutrient density foods, such as candy, sodas, chips, and other snack foods. Eating habits are affected by busy schedules, part-time jobs, sports activities, and social activities. Other factors can be the lack of an adult to prepare nutritious food when hungry and lack of time to eat. Adolescents need advice about food choices, but usually resent the advice. Numerous physical changes are occurring in their bodies. The need for independence prevents them from accepting advice or dietary suggestions. Sexual and social pressures affect dietary choices. The increased growth rate of the adolescent results in an enormous appetite.
