    • Ask the other players.

    • Look it up online

    • Flip over the food card and match the color on the back to the color of the food group.

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Flip over the food card and match the color on the back to the color of the food group.
    Explanation
    In the game "Healthy Helpings", a player can check if they chose the correct food card by flipping it over and matching the color on the back to the color of the food group. This method allows the player to visually confirm if they have selected a food card that belongs to the correct food group, ensuring they have made the right choice. Asking other players or looking it up online may not provide an accurate or immediate answer, making flipping the card the most reliable option.

    Johnny ate 6 servings of grains today. At least how many of those should be whole grains?

    • None

    • 1

    • 2

    • 3

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    Whole grains are an important part of a healthy diet as they provide more nutrients and fiber compared to refined grains. The question asks for the minimum number of whole grain servings Johnny should have out of the total 6 servings. Since it is important to include whole grains in the diet, the correct answer is 3, meaning at least half of the servings (3 out of 6) should be whole grains.

    Correct Answer
    A. Fruits and Vegetables
    Explanation
    According to the MyPlate guidelines, half of your plate should be filled with fruits and vegetables. This is because fruits and vegetables are rich in nutrients, fiber, and antioxidants, which are essential for maintaining good health. Including a variety of fruits and vegetables in your diet can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases and promote overall well-being.

    Which player goes first in the game "Healthy Helpings"?

    • The oldest

    • The tallest

    • The shortest

    • The youngest

    Correct Answer
    A. The youngest
    Explanation
    In the game "Healthy Helpings," the player who goes first is the youngest. This means that out of all the players participating in the game, the one who is the youngest in age gets the first turn. This is a common rule in many games where turn order is determined by age, with the youngest player going first.

    Refined grains are enriched with ____________ but not _____________

    • Vitamin C; Protein

    • B Vitamins; Fiber

    • Vitamin D; Calcium

    • Fiber; B Vitamins

    Correct Answer
    A. B Vitamins; Fiber
    Explanation
    Refined grains are processed grains that have had the bran and germ removed, which also removes most of the nutrients. However, they are often enriched with B vitamins to add back some of the lost nutrients. Fiber, on the other hand, is not added back during the enrichment process. Therefore, refined grains are enriched with B vitamins but not fiber.

    30 minutes of physical activity per day is adequate for kids

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "30 minutes of physical activity per day is adequate for kids" is false. Children require more than just 30 minutes of physical activity per day to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The American Heart Association recommends that children engage in at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day to promote their overall health and well-being. This level of activity helps children develop strong bones and muscles, maintain a healthy weight, improve cardiovascular fitness, and enhance their mental well-being. Therefore, 30 minutes of physical activity per day is not enough for kids.

    Which two food groups are represented equally on the MyPlate?

    • Dairy and Protein

    • Fruit and Vegetables

    • Vegetables and Grains

    • Fruits and Grains

    Correct Answer
    A. Vegetables and Grains
    Explanation
    The MyPlate is a visual representation of the five food groups that are recommended for a healthy diet. It divides the plate into four sections: fruits, vegetables, grains, and protein. The dairy group is represented by a separate circle next to the plate. In this question, the correct answer is "Vegetables and Grains" because these two food groups are equally represented on the MyPlate, each taking up approximately one-fourth of the plate.
