Under Food Categories, which category includes fats and oils?

• A. Beverages
• B. Fats and Oils
• C. Milk and dairy
• D. Meats

Answer: (B)

Understanding how foods are grouped helps you identify where items belong. The category that includes fats and oils is named fats and oils because it covers fats from animal and plant sources and the oils used in cooking and food preparation. That makes it the correct category. Beverages are drinks, not fats; milk and dairy covers dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt; meats refer to animal flesh. So fats and oils is the category that contains fats and oils.
