Answer to Question 1

A
In a true food allergy, the immune system reacts to a substance in food as if it needed to protect the body from a foreign substance. Food allergies may cause reactions in the digestive or respi-ratory systems, but these are secondary effects, not primary responses. The cardiovascular system is not usually involved in food allergy.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Feedback:
The recommended intake of a 1000 cal/day diet is 3 oz grains, 1 cup vegetables, 1 cup fruit, 2 cups dairy, and 2 oz protein.
