-Variety

Ethan is not achieving the variety principle

Explanation;

-Eating a variety of foods and choosing the appropriate number of servings from the food guide pyramid is something that many people do not do.

-No two food items provide the exact same nutrients and this is why it is important to eat an assortment of foods. This means that some food items are better sources for nutrients than other items and vise versa.

-Balance and moderation are also important aspects of daily intake of food. Balance compares with variety because of the importance of eating a balanced diet from the Food Pyramid. Also balance is associated with caloric intake/expenditure. When equality is found between food intake (calories taken in to the body) and physical exercise (caloric expenditure) a maintaining of body weight occurs.

Moderation involves controlling or regulation of food intake.
