Explanation:

These questions pertain to nutrition - related aspects of dairy products such as nutrients, consumption amounts for teens, enjoyment in meals, food - science applications, shopping, storage, and meal design. They also involve critical thinking about the impact of not consuming dairy and smart shopping on nutrition.

Answer:

1. Milk contains nutrients like calcium, protein, vitamin D, and others. Teens should consume 3 cups (or equivalent) of dairy per day.
2. Ways to enjoy include adding milk to cereal, having yogurt as a snack, and using cheese in sandwiches or pizzas.
3. Food science applies to milk products in areas like pasteurization to ensure safety, and fermentation in making yogurt and cheese.
4. Ways to buy dairy foods include checking expiration dates, comparing prices, and looking for sales or discounts.
5. Store milk in the fridge at 34 - 38°F, yogurt can be kept refrigerated for up to 2 weeks, and cheese should be wrapped properly. To prepare, milk can be used as is or in recipes, yogurt can be eaten plain or with toppings, and cheese can be melted or sliced.
6. Foods like cereal with milk, yogurt parfaits, and grilled cheese sandwiches would be missing. Consequences could include calcium deficiency and less variety in meals.
7. A family can buy in - season dairy, compare unit prices, and choose low - fat or fat - free options. Smart shopping can improve the family's nutrition by ensuring access to quality nutrients while reducing costs and potential fat intake.
8. A meal could be a spinach and feta omelette made with low - fat milk and a side of fruit salad with a dollop of Greek yogurt.
