Q1: What kind of food do we need most of?

[Answer]

We need food to give us energy to move, to grow, and to repair damaged parts of our bodies.

So although we eat food because we enjoy it, we also need to eat food because it is good for us.

The food we normally eat and drink is called our diet.

Our bodies are good at sorting out the useful parts of each food, but we have to eat a great variety of foods to get what we need.
