Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A source of complete protein is soy. Soy protein is the only complete plant protein. Gelatin, kidney beans, and peanut butter are incomplete proteins. Complete proteins provide all nine essential amino acids.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The 2000 DASH diet consists of 6 to 8 servings of grains; 4 to 5 servings of vegetables; 4 to 5 servings of fruits; 2 to 3 servings of fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products; and 6 or less servings of lean meats, poultry, and fish. The meal of spaghetti with meatballs and sauce, broccoli, peaches, and coffee best demonstrates the guidelines.
