If the food menu in KGBV is balanced but girls are not eating it, which aspect should be checked?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Food acceptability, taste, hygiene, and local food practices
A balanced menu may be nutritionally adequate, but if girls do not eat the food, its acceptability must be assessed. Taste, smell, texture, hygiene, and local food practices strongly affect actual intake. Increasing the number of plates alone will not solve reluctance to eat. Exam tip: Judge a nutrition programme by both the nutritional quality of its menu and its acceptability to the beneficiaries.
