Choosing Things to Eat Trivia Quiz

Answer: Cow

Every meal should have some protein. Most people get their proteins from animal meat and products, including meats like chicken, fish, pork, beef, milk, and dairy products like cheese, milk, and yogurt. Some people choose not to eat meat or meat products. They are called "vegetarians" or "vegans" and find their protein in plant-based foods.

Answer: Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an important vitamin that has been shown to protect you from getting a cold. It can be found in many fruits, but especially in citrus fruits. Vitamin C is also very important to protect you from a disease called scurvy. If you don't get enough Vitamin C, scurvy will cause a variety of things including weakness, sore legs, and a fever.

It might also make all your teeth fall out, so make sure you get your Vitamin C to stay healthy.

Answer: Carrots

Orange vegetables like carrots have something called beta-carotene in them. When you eat vegetables with beta-carotene, your body turns that into Vitamin A, which makes your eyes stronger. Bugs Bunny liked to eat a lot of carrots, so I'll bet that he could see forever.

Other vegetables with lots of beta-carotene include sweet potatoes, squash, and some fruits like apricots and cantaloupe.

Answer: Eat beans

Beans are high in protein. People who choose not to eat meat will usually eat beans and bean products like tofu to help them get their protein. Beans are also high in fibre. That is another good thing for you to eat. It helps with a bunch of things inside your body. One thing about beans is that they might cause gas, so it is common to pass wind after you eat them.

Answer: Only once in a while for a special treat

Candy might taste good, but there are no nutrients in it. You shouldn't eat too much candy because it will make you feel full and you won't want to eat the food that is better for you. Candy is bad for your teeth, too. If you eat too much, your teeth will be damaged and you might get more cavities.

Answer: Spinach

Leafy green vegetables are really healthy because they are packed with different vitamins that your body needs to stay healthy. Kids tend to not like spinach, but it may be the best leafy green vegetable to eat. If you don't like it cooked, you can make a salad, or even mix it in a blender with some yogurt and fruit for a delicious smoothie.

Other leafy green vegetables include kale, collard greens, cabbage, beet greens, watercress, Swiss chard, and turnip greens among others.

Answer: Granola

Most cereals that kids would choose first are loaded with sugar and not much good stuff. But, granola has more nutrients than the other sugary cereals on the list. It does have some sugar, but it also has vitamins and nutrients, fibre, and even some protein if it is made with nuts. So, if you have a choice, granola is better than sugary cereal.

Answer: It has more fibre

Whole grain bread is usually brown in colour. When white bread is made, white flour is used. To make white flour, it is processed and most of the vitamins and nutrients are removed. But, whole grain bread is made with whole grain flour that isn't processed in the same way, so its vitamins and nutrients, along with its healthy fibre, remain. Fibre is very good for your digestive system, so the more that you eat, the better it is for you.That means that whole grain bread is better for sandwiches.

Answer: Fruit salad

Fruit salad is a delicious option for a dessert with a little sweetness and a lot of goodness. Each fruit that is placed in the salad will bring a variety of vitamins, and it will have lots of fibre in it. The other options listed are ok to have every now and then, but they don't bring the vitamins and nutrients that a delicious fruit salad will bring to your dessert.

Answer: Milk

Milk is a delicious way to quench your thirst and get some extra nutrition too. It is a great source of calcium, which is a nutrient important for strong bones. It has lots of other nutrients too. The other choices on the list all have lots of sugar, so they should only be enjoyed once in a while for a treat.
