Explanation:

• Question 4: As people age, their metabolic rate, physical activity level, and physiological functions change. For example, children and adolescents need more nutrients for growth, while older adults may have different needs for calcium (due to bone health) and fiber (for digestive health). So, nutritional needs vary across life stages.
• Question 5: Emotions can trigger eating behavior. For instance, stress (a negative emotion) might lead some people to over - eat (emotional eating), while positive emotions like celebration might also involve eating (but not always healthy). So, emotions can drive non - hunger eating.
• Question 6: Lower income often means less financial resources. This can limit access to a diverse range of foods (e.g., fresh fruits and vegetables, different types of proteins) due to cost. Higher income is more likely to afford a variety of foods, not necessarily fast food. Organic foods are often more expensive, so lower income is less likely to consume them.
