Answer to Question 1

3 Rationale: Research has shown that men who scored highest on the Healthy Eating Index had an 11 reduction in their risk for developing a chronic disease. Women who scored highest on the Health Eating Index only reduced their risk for developing a chronic disease by 3. The assessment is scored from 0 to 100. If an individual scores of 100, it means that the person is totally compliant with the USDA's dietary guidelines.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
MyPlate is the new graphic that was developed to replace MyPyramid. It features a place setting with half of the dinner plate devoted to fruits and vegetables,  to protein, and  to grain, with dairy accompanying the plate.
