Question

Which statement best describes the subject of this icon? A healthy meal consists of the appropriate portions of five food groups. A healthy meal means eating twice as many fruits as vegetables. The government encourages equal portions of each food group. The government’s recommendations are influenced by dairy farmers.

Answer 1

The first alternative is correct (A).

The subject matter covered in the icon is the ideal description of a healthy meal.

According to nutritionists, physicians and other professionals in the area of food health, there are five large food groups, so that a diet considered adequate should be balanced, that is, one should continue to ingest in a manner proportional to the nutritional importance of each one of the five food groups.

The five food groups are carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vegetables and fruits and cereals. In these foods you find the source of energy and vitamins you need to keep your body functioning healthily. The proportionality of each food group may vary for each person, so you should ideally look for a nutritionist to ensure proper nutrition.
