Question

which statement best describes a reason for developing unhealthy eating habits?
all family members exercise three days a week.
the costs associated with purchasing fruit are low.
the nearest grocery store is more than 50 miles away.
low - cost healthcare is located close to home.

Explanation:

• Option A: Family members exercising regularly is a healthy behavior and not a reason for unhealthy eating habits.
• Option B: Low fruit costs would encourage buying healthy food, not lead to unhealthy eating.
• Option C: If the nearest grocery store is very far, it becomes difficult to access fresh, healthy food (like fruits, vegetables), so people may resort to unhealthy, easily accessible food, making this a valid reason for unhealthy eating habits.
• Option D: Proximity to low - cost healthcare is related to medical access, not directly to eating habits.

Answer:

C. The nearest grocery store is more than 50 miles away.
