Snacks can be a problem if you choose unhealthy foods, such as chips. B. Healthy snacks can be beneficial and can help a person maintain a good weight. C. All snacks should be avoided because they can cause a person to gain weight. D. Healthy snacks include fruit, yogurt, or granola bars.".The false option is C - we can already see that there are healthy (fruit) and unhealthy snacks (chips) and only the unhealthy ones should be avoided. The healthy snacks are good for us!

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. All snacks should be avoided because they can cause a person to gain weight.

This is not necessarily true. While many associate snacking with packaged foods and processed such as candies, chips, etc., snacks can also include healthy foods such as fruits, nuts, yogurt, muesli bars, etc. Healthy snacks when eaten in moderation do not cause weight gain, and can provide health benefits. Therefore, it is false that all snacks should be avoided because they can cause a person to gain weight
