Answer to Question 1

D
Children should be provided with a diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to help them consume adequate nutrients with less than 30 of kcals from fat. It is not necessary to completely avoid fat food and fried foods, although they should be eaten in moderation. A vegan eating pattern may not provide adequate amounts of iron, zinc, vitamin B12, and other important nutrients found in lean meats and low-fat dairy products. Low-fat processed food products can help limit fat intake, but a vitamin/mineral supplement does not compensate for omitting fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
