Question 13 • FL-8500355-Nutrition and Wellness (IS)

Harper follows a celebrity on social media who swears by a daily diet of broiled chicken on iceberg lettuce. The celebrity says that the limited calories keep her in fit shape for the cameras. Harper is thinking about adopting this diet. Which fact would be the BEST argument to persuade Harper to rethink her plan?

Answer
A
A variety of foods is needed to get all the nutrients your body requires.
B
Broiled chicken can be packed with added hormones or extra salt.
C
Bacteria outbreaks have been linked to unwashed iceberg lettuce.
D
Chicken will provide protein, but you need to add a fat to the meals.

Explanation

A very limited diet of chicken and iceberg lettuce may not provide all the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients the body needs. Eating a variety of foods is the best reason to rethink the plan. The other choices focus on possible issues with individual foods or nutrients, rather than the overall lack of variety.
