You should probably reword it tho

Many statistics are taken from a small group of people used to represent the general population. Say a news channel reported that 81% of teenagers in America were planning on going to a four-year college. This statistic is most likely taken from a randomly selected group of teenagers, and calculated with a margin of error. Because after all, it's nearly impossible to survey every single teenager in America. This can lead to some statistics that are not really representative of the actual percentage of people. This only gets more likely the larger the general population being "surveyed" is. Another reason is that the media is not always truthful with statistics. Things can be altered and not many people will notice.

For a 2,000-calorie diet, how many cups of milk or the equivalent per day does myplate recommend?
sergij07 [2.7K]

3 cups of milk, or the equivalent, per day are advised for only a 2,000 caloric diet, according to My-Plate.

My-Plate recommendation:

  • According to My-Plate recommendation, the dairy category covers dairy products such as milk, yogurt, cheese, lactose-free milk, fortified soy milk, and yogurt. It excludes dairy products with high fat and low calcium content including cream cheese, sour cream, cream, and butter.
  • Human age, height, weight, degree of physical activity, and the quantity of dairy required will all affect how much you need. The quantity for women may also change depending on whether they are nursing or pregnant. My-Plate study shows that about 90% of Americans do not consume enough dairy, thus most people would benefit from increasing their diet of fat-free or low-fat dairy products, whether they come from milk (including lactose-free milk), yogurt, or cheese.
