´ da and Octavio eat the most. It is important to note that there is very little variety of
types of foods eaten by Donio and a great variety of foods eaten by Steve. To have a
healthy diet, it is essential to eat a wide variety of foods. Thus A´da, Octavio, and
Steve's meals are expected to provide a good diet.
In considering the foods farmers in an area should, or need, to be growing, it is
essential to look at the diets of the local population and increase the production of
foods that will enrich and improve that diet.
