Explanation:

Question 1

My Plate food guide shows a plate and glass that, in which the five food groups are depicted; fruits, grains, vegetable, dairy and protein. It is designed to enable Americans decide a healthy meal

food guide was developed based on the information provided by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. This Dietary Guidelines for Americans publishes every five years and  provides nutritional advises for Americans above two years old.

Question 2

If the total product contains 200 calories per serving, and 100 calories is made from fat. This means fat takes about 50% of the total calories.

In a healthy meal or diet, fat should only take about 30% of the of the total daily calories. Constant high intake of fats above the recommended allowance can be a potential risk for non communicable diseases like cancer, atherosclerosis etc.

Therefore the diet in question 2 is potentially an unhealthy choice

The dietary guidelines for healthy Americans, 2005 is the correct answer.
