Read this selection and answer the question. For the third time this week, Kirsten's second-grade daughter Caitlin excitedly revealed that her class enjoyed lemonade and birthday cupcakes at snack time. Kirsten wanted to loosen up about these treats, ignoring the situation. After all, her own mother deprived her of anything sweet—a severe restriction that backfired when Kirsten developed both a severe sweet tooth and a brief case of bulimia in college. Still, she was a little concerned about the plethora of "yucky foods" daughter was eating. This wasn't an aesthetic issue. It was a health issue. The family's pediatrician just revealed that—at the rate children are eating junk food these days—one in three would likely develop diabetes. Kirsten resolved to express herself to Caitlin's teacher the next day. And she would share thought was a great idea: having the class host one common birthday each month. Normally reserved, Kirsten was proud of her ability to tackle the issue while offering a reasonable solution that made sense for the kids and their health. Eating treats in moderation sounded good to her, and Caitlin supported the proposal. Select the correct answer. Which of these statements is least implied by this passage? A. Cupcakes should be banned in schools. B. Kids who eat too much junk food could develop diabetes. C. Birthdays at schools should be celebrated monthly instead of for each child.
