Source document note

The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

• indicator text - printed 'B9.2.4.1.2' beside a content standard cell coded 'B9.2.4.2'. The standard is genuinely a second one ('Demonstrate skills in planning meals for various members of the family', against .1's 'selecting food commodities'), and this indicator's own text is about basic food requirements for family members, so it belongs to .2. Filed as its first indicator; the printed standard code stands.
