To promote good eating habits in adolescents, adults should
a. discuss the reasons for good food choices with adolescents.
b. design daily menus and provide only the specific foods on the menu.
c. create guidelines for dietary patterns and provide appropriate food choices.
d. model good food behaviors and allow adolescents to make their own choices.
C
Adults can help promote good eating habits in adolescents by creating guidelines for dietary pat-terns and providing appropriate food choices. Simply discussing reasons for good food choices provides education without tools. Designing menus and providing only these foods does not teach adolescents to make good choices on their own. Modeling good food behaviors and allow-ing adolescents to make their own choices does not provide sufficient guidance.
