Answer 2

For safe food handling, cooked leftovers at room temperature for over two hours are unsafe, it is false that melons needn't be washed before cutting, and foodborne diseases can contribute to undernutrition.

Step-by-step explanation:

When considering the proper handling and storage of food, there are important guidelines to follow:

• If you store cooked leftovers at room temperature (about 68 degrees F) for more than two hours, they are not safe to eat, even if you heat them up very well afterwards. Bacteria that can cause foodborne illness can multiply rapidly at room temperature.
• It is false that there is no need to wash a melon before cutting it. Washing the rind is important because bacteria from the surface can be transferred to the flesh when cutting.
• Foodborne diseases can cause a form of undernutrition by affecting nutrient absorption and leading to malabsorption syndromes.

With respect to nutrient and energy density knowledge, understanding these factors can help make healthier food choices by selecting foods that provide more nutrients with fewer calories.
