Case study based MCQ questions.

1. The food guide pyramid is a graphic depiction of the daily food guide. The illustration was designed to depict variety, moderation, and also proportions. The size of each section represents the number of daily servings recommended. The broad base at the bottom conveys the message that grains should be abundant and form the foundation of a healthy diet. Fruits and vegetables appear at the next level, showing that they have a less prominent, but still important place in the diet. Meats and milks appear in a smaller band near the top. A few servings of each can contribute valuable nutrients such as proteins, vitamins and minerals, without too much fat and cholesterol. Fats, oils and sweets occupy the tiny apex, indicating that they should be used sparingly.

Alcoholic beverages do not appear in the pyramid, but they too, if consumed, should be limited. Items such as spices, coffee, tea and diet soft drinks provide few, if any, nutrients, but can add flavor and pleasure to meals when used judiciously.

The daily food guide plan and food guide pyramid emphasize grains, vegetables, and fruits. These are all piant foods. Some 75 per cent of a day's servings should come from these three groups. This strategy helps all people obtain complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals with little fat. It also makes diet planning for vegetarians easier.

 2. By the time a person reaches adolescence the influences on eating habits are numerous and the formation of those habits is extremely complex. The growing independence of adolescents, increased participation in social life, and a generally busy schedule of activities have a definite impact on what they eat. They are beginning to buy and prepare more food for themselves and they often eat rapidly and away from home. In order to encourage adolescents to form reasonably healthy eating habits parents should give their children the opportunity to choose from a range of nourishing foods as they are growing up. While the basic foundation for eating habits is found in the family, many influences on eating behavior originate outside the home. The influence of peers can be a useful source of support, as well as a source of stress for the adolescent. Peer influence and support can be helpful for overweight teenagers, although the same peers can also target such adolescents for teasing.

Teenagers are also very vulnerable to advertising messages. Television food commercials and eating habits portrayed in programme content influence them. The majority of advertisements are for products with a high concentration of sweetness and fat. Hence, adolescents have to be discerning while consuming such food products.
