Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Starches are stored in the liver in the form of glycogen, which can be used for energy when glucose levels fall. Starches do not lead to satiety as well as proteins and fats. Glucose is the quickest form of energy. Starches, in the form of fiber, can be consumed liberally.

Answer to Question 2

B
Foodborne illness may be caused by consumption of food with expired sell-by or use-by dates; therefore consumers should check dates on food packages at the grocery store. Information in-cluded in the ingredient list and Nutrition Facts panel is not directly relevant to prevention of foodborne illness. The type of packaging used is unlikely to be a food safety concern.
