The NEW Canada Food Guide
Episode Notes
A note from Stephanie...
I remember a few of the older versions of this guide from grade school. We were taught the same rules, with very few changes, but maybe with more detail every year in Health class.
I have seen diet trends come and go, travelled the world and seen what other humans are eating first hand...but still our Canadian food rules stayed the same....and I never noticed or gave it much thought.
Over the last 5 years or so, I have been listening to my body more than what I see on TV or read about online. I have made my own rules that keep me sane and functioning and the more I learn about the food industries and the politics they involve themselves in - I am glad I am being my OWN guide.
In this episode, I offer a bit of background, what is rumoured to be coming and how it may change future generations of Canadians and how they feed themselves.
