A teacher was teaching a class about what foods are part of a recommended diet. She asked the students to describe what the pie graph shows about this. Which is the BEST response?

• Protein is the most important part of a person's diet.

• Vegetables are the most important part of a diet because it has 18%.

• Fruit has the biggest part of the graph with 30%, so it must be the kind of food you should eat the most.

• People should eat fruit, protein, and vegetables to be healthy.

Is the following claim SUPPORTED or NOT SUPPORTED based on the details from the graph?

Claim: Grains should be the biggest part of a person's diet.

• This claim is not supported.

• This claim is not supported because it shows that grain should just be 9% of your diet. Fruits, protein, vegetables, and dairy are all bigger on the graph, so they are more important.

• This claim is not supported because cereal and bread both come from grain and they can make you fat.

• This claim is supported because it has the smallest percent on the graph.
