Answer to Question 1

3 Rationale: The Centers for Disease Control provides these online resources. Also, they publish the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. The Food and Drug Administration monitors dietary supplements and processed foods (except meat, poultry, and eggs). The United States Department of Agriculture monitors safety and quality of meat, poultry, and eggs. Also, they provide nutritional information about nutritional values of thief foods. The Environmental Protection Agency regulates water quality and pesticide use on food items.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The MyPlate graphic devotes the plate to fruit and vegetables. Low-fat milk is a better choice as it reduces the amount of fat in the diet.
