Answer 1

The textual evidence that supports the idea of "cutting back on foods high in solid fats, added sugars, and salt" includes the following:

1. "Too much sodium may increase your blood pressure."
2. "Drink water instead of sugary drinks. There are about 10 packets of sugar in a 12-ounce can of soda."
3. "Added sugars and fats load foods with extra calories you don’t need."

The statement "Make half your plate fruits and vegetables" is related to healthy eating but doesn't specifically support the idea of cutting back on solid fats, added sugars, and salt.
