19. d. Oatmeal.

20.c Aspartame.

B. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) created MyPlate, an easy-to-follow food guide, to help parents to figure out how to feed their kids nutritious, balanced meals. The colorful divided plate includes sections for vegetables, fruits, grains, and foods high in protein.

C.Most pre-packed foods have a nutrition label on the back or side of the packaging. These labels include information on energy in kilojoules (kJ) and kilocalories (kcal), usually referred to as calories. They also include information on fat, saturates (saturated fat), carbohydrate, sugars, protein and salt.

d. A portion is the amount of food that you choose to eat for a meal or snack. It can be big or small, you decide. A serving is a measured amount of food or drink, such as one slice of bread or one cup (eight ounces) of milk. Many foods that come as a single portion actually contain multiple servings.

E.

Green = Vegetables

The vegetable portion of My Plate, in green, is one of the largest portions on the plate. That's because, just like grandma said, it's important to "eat your veggies!"

Vegetables have many of the vitamins and minerals kids need for good health, are naturally low in calories, and contain fiber. The vegetable group includes:

1. dark green vegetables (like broccoli, spinach, and kale)
2. orange and red vegetables (like squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes)
3. beans and peas (like kidney beans, lentils, and black-eyed peas — also included in the protein group)
4. starchy vegetables (like corn, potatoes, and plantains)
5. other vegetables (those that don't fall into the first four categories, like cauliflower and green beans)

For best nutrition, serve a variety of vegetables to your family each week. You can use fresh, frozen, or canned veggies.

Red = Fruits

Fruits are an important part of a balanced diet. They contain necessary nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. You can use fresh, frozen, or canned fruit.

When buying canned fruit, choose fruit that is packed in juice rather than heavy or light syrup. And it's best to serve whole fruit over 100% fruit juice. Fruit juices have more sugar and calories with less fiber per serving than whole fruit.

Orange = Grains

The grain group includes any food made from wheat, oats, cornmeal, barley, or other grain. Bread, tortillas, cereal, rice, and pasta belong in this group.

At least half of the grains kids eat each day should be whole grains, such as oatmeal, brown rice, and whole wheat bread. Whole grains have dietary fiber that helps you feel full and can prevent and treat constipation. Eating a diet rich in whole grains also might decrease the chances of getting heart disease and diabetes.

Refined grains, like white bread and white rice, are processed, removing many of the nutrients. Most refined grains are enriched, which means that nutrients, except fiber, are added back after processing.

F. Many foods that contain added sugars also contain lots of calories, but often have few other nutrients, such as proteins, vitamins and minerals. Eating too many of these foods often can contribute to you becoming overweight. Being overweight can increase your risk of health conditions

Sugar is a carbohydrate, which will eventually turn into fat in the body. Sugar affects insulin resistance and blood sugar levels in the blood, in turn spiking hunger, causing you to crave more sugary/carbohydrate foods. ... Too much sugar (which often comes with too much fat) can cause you to gain weight
