The Nurse Is Helping an Obese Child Learn About Healthy

The child shares with the nurse that he usually drinks a half a gallon of whole milk a day and often has a toasted cheese sandwich or macaroni and cheese for lunch and sometimes has a bowl of ice cream or yogurt for dessert.

A) "You can drink all the milk and eat all the milk products you want, as they are very healthy."
B) "You need to reduce your milk intake to a glass at each meal and at bedtime."
C) "The recommended daily amount of milk and milk products such as cheese or ice cream is two to three servings a day."
D) "If you drink a half a gallon of milk a day, you need to omit cheese and other milk products."
