19. Overall, what would you say is the nutritional value of your food? Is it good for you? Why or why not? I'll say that my food is moderate but more on the bad side. It is because the vitamins are very low and they are using more calcium, sodium and fats. Therefore, it is just good for one serving as a snack not for daily diet.
