A, B
Feedback:
Strategies that may make healthy eating easier include eating out less often and bringing healthy snacks from home instead of relying on the vending machine options. Avoid commercially prepared "junk" foods that have been modified to be "fat free" or "sugar free." Fat-free milk is a good choice because milk is a fundamentally healthy food made healthier by the elimination of fat.
