Why are local and seasonal foods useful in diet planning?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They help with availability, freshness and affordability
Local and seasonal foods are usually easier to obtain, may be fresher, and often cost less because transport, storage, and scarcity costs are reduced. They can also reflect familiar cultural eating patterns, which may improve acceptance and adherence. They must still be selected according to the patient's medical condition, nutrient needs, allergies, and food-safety requirements. Thus, option D is correct.
