Which of the following explains why nutrition labels have totals for both a 2,000 and 2,500 calorie diet?

a) some people burn calories faster and require more each day.
b) people trying to lose weight should follow the 2,000-calorie recommendations.
c) the fda wants to illustrate that cholesterol and sodium recommendations are the same.

A

Explanation:

Can't be B, because for people who burn less than 2000 calories a day, eating 2000 calories would cause the them to gain weight. (Small people who don't move around much burn less than 2000 calories a day.)

Probably not C, unless the source points out that fact. This source has a mission to be clear in presenting to the public, so unless they point out the fact implied, it's unlikely to be their motivation.
