Read the paragraph from the brochure about school lunches
Which graphic would best support the information
presented in the paragraph?
Healthy school lunches--that is, meals that include
fruits and vegetables, whole-grain foods, lean protein,
and limited saturated fat and salt-should be the
standard in our district. This would benefit the student
body in several key ways. First of all, teaching children
to eat healthy promotes positive eating habits through
adulthood. Secondly, providing children with healthy
food could help prevent issues such as diabetes and
heart disease later in life. Lastly, healthy and hearty
food boosts students' energy, which can lead to
improved focus and better grades.
