Unit 3: You Are What You Eat: Healthy Meal Planning
Question 12 • Nutrition and Wellness (IS)
Kimani loves to bake and give her baked goods as gifts to her neighbors. Her mother complains that she has had to buy four bags of flour at five lbs. each for Kimani in the past two weeks! She says that Kimani’s habit is expensive! What compromise would allow Kimani to keep baking but save her mother some money?
Answer
A
Use less flour than each recipe calls for.
B
Ask the neighbors to contribute for the goods.
C
Buy one bag of flour at a time as she needs it.
D
Buy flour in bigger bags at a big box store.
Explanation
Buying flour in larger bags at a big box store can lower the cost per pound compared with buying several smaller bags. Kimani can keep baking and giving her treats to neighbors while her mother spends less on flour. Using less flour than a recipe calls for could spoil the baked goods, and buying one small bag at a time would not address the high cost.
