Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Feedback:
Choosing foods without solid fats, additional sugar, and refined flours are better choices. Granola, macaroni and cheese, and regular hot dogs are high in solid fats and sugars.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Reducing the number of identified risk factors dramatically reduces the individual's risk for developing a chronic disease. Increasing the amount of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains reduces risk. Smoking, a poor diet, a sedentary lifestyle, and alcohol intake have been identified as strong risk factors for chronic disease development in the United States. A poor diet has been associated with the development of circulatory problems, diabetes, and cancer.
