Answer: D

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the MyPlate system are provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). They contain the following recommendations:
1. Balance calories by eating smaller portions of a variety of foods.
2. Eat more nutrient-dense foods, making half your plate fruits and vegetables, one-quarter of your plate whole grains, and one-quarter protein foods low in saturated fat. Use fat-free or 1 percent milk instead of higher-fat versions.
3. Reduce intake of sodium and empty-calorie foods. Drink more water instead of sugary drinks.
4. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate daily physical activity.
