What can you do when the Food guide is broken?

The food guide that nobody wants to fix


While it’s true that pretty much no one goes grocery shopping with Canada’s Food Guide in hand, that doesn’t mean the Guide doesn’t play an incredibly important role in our nation’s health. Touted by Health Canada as the second-most downloaded government document behind tax forms, it serves as our country’s nutritional backdrop. The Guide underlies the diet policies and programs in our publicly funded schools, hospitals, arenas and corporations; it is taught to our children, our future doctors, dietitians and other allied health professionals as gospel; and it is utilized by the food industry to advertise the health benefits of their products.  



Maybe you should start by not believing all the propaganda that you have been feed...... Start by becoming food wise and doing your own due diligence.
