Why is choosing local and seasonal food beneficial?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They may be relatively fresh and increase dietary variety
Local and seasonal foods may travel shorter distances and can therefore be relatively fresh. Choosing different fruits, vegetables and other foods across seasons also increases dietary variety and may improve access to diverse nutrients. However, local status alone does not guarantee superior nutrition, and such foods do not replace physical activity or a balanced diet. Therefore, A is correct.
