Question

the usda has developed messages to help consumers use myplate. determine which statements fit with each food group, and drag the statement to its correct food group.

make at least half of your choices from this group “whole.”
vary your dark green, orange, and starchy choices from this group.
focus on whole or cut - up options from this group.
choose lean foods from this group.

Explanation:

To solve this, we match each statement to the correct MyPlate food group based on dietary guidelines:

1. Fruits: "Focus on whole or cut - up options from this group." (Whole or cut - up fruits are recommended, e.g., whole apples or sliced berries.)
2. Grains: "Make at least half of your choices from this group 'whole'." (Whole grains like whole - wheat bread are better, and half of grain choices should be whole.)
3. Vegetables: "Vary your dark green, orange, and starchy choices from this group." (Vegetables come in these color - coded and starchy types, e.g., spinach (dark green), carrots (orange), potatoes (starchy).)
4. Protein: "Choose lean foods from this group." (Lean proteins like skinless chicken or tofu are recommended.)
5. Dairy: "Consume low - fat options that are good sources of calcium." (Dairy products like low - fat milk are rich in calcium, and low - fat is a healthy choice.)

The incorrect statement "Eat more high - fat, low calcium options from this food group" does not match any MyPlate food group as MyPlate promotes nutritious, low - fat (for most groups) and calcium - rich (for dairy) choices.

Answer:

• Fruits: Focus on whole or cut - up options from this group.
• Grains: Make at least half of your choices from this group "whole".
• Vegetables: Vary your dark green, orange, and starchy choices from this group.
• Protein: Choose lean foods from this group.
• Dairy: Consume low - fat options that are good sources of calcium.
• The statement "Eat more high - fat, low calcium options from this food group" does not belong to any MyPlate food group.
