Solution
Tasty food is not always nutritious, e.g., burger, samosa, chowmin, potato chips etc. are very tasty but not nutritious. These foods contain refined flour (maida), spices and lot of oil which is not good for health. On the other hand, nutritious food may not always be tasty to eat, e.g., boiled vegetables, pulses etc. are not always tasty but are very good for health. These foods contain important nutrients (proteins, vitamins, minerals etc.) which help to make us strong and healthy.
