(a) True

(b) False

I got this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

Origin of the question is Fats, Trans-fats, Proteins, Amino acids, Vitamins, Minerals- 2 in chapter Fats, Trans-fats, Proteins, Amino acids, Vitamins, Minerals of Food Engineering

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) True

Easiest explanation: Either a large quantity of plant sources or a small portion of animal sources with large quantities of plant sources serve as high quality proteins. Hence both the diets are healthy.
