3. (8 pts.) Pick one age group from the choices on Table 15-
3 on pg. 596.
Age choices are 2, 5, 8, 12, 16 years old.
Write up a food plan for the age group you picked.

food plan is an example of what you think they should
specifically eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack(s).
Be sure to make your choices nutritious that are not choking
hazards.

day to use the whole plan. Not providing enough details will
result in points taken off.
