Ans: A
Feedback:
Nutritional awareness involves an understanding of the importance of a healthy diet that supplies all of the essential nutrients. The other options are incorrect because vitamin supplements are not necessary for a healthy diet, a certain amount of all minerals need to be eaten daily, and understanding what constitutes the recommended daily nutrients is not necessary for nutritional awareness.
