Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Childhood obesity has been linked with adult coronary disease, but a high-fat diet is essential for development in children age two and younger. Children under the age of two years require a high-fat diet for proper development of the brain and nervous system. Fat is an extremely important component in the diet of children under the age of two because it is needed for the development of the brain and nervous system. Children on a low-fat diet have shown a measurable decrease on mental and psychomotor scores.

Answer to Question 2

A
