1. Why do you think most Americans do not currently consume diets that match the recommendations
presented in the Dietary Guidelines?

accessible website, in whole or in part.
Answers will vary. There are many reasons why Americans do not consume diets that match the
recommendations presented in the Dietary Guidelines, including access to affordable and nutritious foods, food
preferences, opportunities for physical activity, and fast-paced lifestyles. Sometimes the reason can be that we
simply don’t think about the broad assortment of foods that can be included in a healthy dietary pattern. (LO
6.2)
2. Which food or foods fall into two of the five food groups represented in MyPlate?
Beans and peas are vegetables that also fall into the “protein foods” food group. (LO 6.3)
3. Which foods are emphasized in the Mediterranean diet and how often should they be consumed? Is
the Mediterranean diet associated with any health benefits?
The Mediterranean dietary pattern emphasizes plant foods, such as fruits, vegetables, grains (mostly whole),
beans, and nuts. Fish and seafood is represented in the diet at least twice a week, poultry and eggs twice weekly
or less, and cheese and yogurt one to seven times a week. Meats and sweets form the smallest part of the
pyramid and are consumed infrequently. Wine in moderation is a traditional part of the Mediterranean diet,
and water intake is encouraged. A number of studies have shown that this dietary pattern is associated with
lower risks of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, several forms of cancer, and overall mortality. (LO 6.3)

recomendado en el mundo científico, en el cual ya gozaba, en concepto
de matemático, de una reputación bien adquirida». ¡Válame la burra de
Balaam! y ¡qué de sinceros elogios nos vemos precisados á tragar los
que escribimos! ¡Con esto, vaya usted á almibararse y ponerse bien
hueco, cuando en revistas y periódicos le espeten una andanada de
encomios lisonjeros y adormecedores! Es cosa de chuparse los dedos y
de confitarse el alma de gusto dando de patas en ellos como mosca
golosa. ¿De veras dice el autor todo eso del famosísimo y celebérrimo
Barberena, tan recomendado en el mundo científico por lo entretenido y
graciosísimo de sus escarceos y payasadas? Mejor le hubiera estado al
bueno del Doctor haberse quedado en su retraimiento de cándida
doncella, resolviendo inocentes incógnitas matemáticas, sin meterse en
caballerías, ni Quicheísmos, ni Historias de lenguas. Todo lo cual, mía
fe, que no son inquinas ni exageraciones de crítico malhumorado: nadie
mejor que el autor lo sabe, y no había para qué venírsenos á ensalzar tan
ladinamente las cosas patrias con libros de esa marca.
