New Food Guide is released for families
Weyburn This Week, October 27, 2016
Staying healthy is about more than visiting a doctor. It is the result of the choices we make every day. The Government of Canada is taking action to help Canadians make healthy choices for themselves and their families.
Recently, the Honourable Jane Philpott, Minister of Health, announced that Health Canada has started a process to revise Canada’s Food Guide to reflect the latest scientific evidence on diet and health, and to better support Canadians, including Indigenous peoples, in making healthy food choices.
The announcement was made at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress.
As part of the Food Guide revision, Health Canada launched a consultation on October 27, with Canadians, which will run to December 8, to determine how Health Canada can provide better dietary guidance that meets the needs of Canadians.
