In the 1990s, McDonalds and other fast food restaurants started getting publicity for the amount of fat in their kids’ meals. At that time, one hamburger Happy Meal contained about 70% of the recommended daily fat allowance for children. Greasy French fries account for most of the fat in the meal. A public outcry caused most fast food restaurants to review their kids’ meal offerings. McDonald’s solved the problem by offering healthy apple slices in place of the greasy fries. Now, a Happy Meal consisting of a hamburger, apples, and milk contain about 35% of a child’s recommended daily fat allowance.

According to the text, why did many fast food restaurants review their kids' meals and kids' food choices?

• They wanted to promote healthy living.

• Many people stated their concerns with the fat content in children's foods.

• A hamburger, apples, and milk contain about 35% of a child's recommended daily fat allowance.

• They didn't like serving greasy fries.

Did you know that tornadoes come from thunderstorms? Thunderclouds build up when cool, dry air runs into warm, wet air. If enough cool air runs into warm air, clouds can start to gain energy and power. A tornado can result from this energy. A tornado is a spinning column created by the thunderstorm’s strong winds. The winds are so strong that they can pick up water, dust, and scraps. A tornado can spin over 200 miles per hour, which means that it has a lot of force.

How do clouds gain enough energy to create a tornado?

• The wind provides energy.

• Water and dust help provide energy.

• If Cool air and warm air run into each other it could provide enough energy.
