What food is most appropriate for a toddler?

What food is most appropriate for a toddler?
A.    hotdog
B.    grapes
C.    milk
D.    spaghetti

The correct answer is D. Toddlers need a high-carb diet to sustain their active play lifestyle. Toddlers are also at risk for aspiration, therefore eliminate foods that are choking hazards (options A and B). Milk is not the best food for toddlers because of its low IRON content; Milk is the primary cause of Iron-deficiency Anemia in children.
