I think it's also about people not prioritizing their health. Even if healthy food was expensive (which I don't feel that it is, if you're wise about how you spend your money), how you eat is one of the most important things for your health, perhaps even more important than exercise, although they are both very important. Some people would rather eat a bunch of extremely cheap, processed food and save their money for stuff instead, or they don't want to put their time into food preparation, even though cooking your own food from plants is the most healthy diet. A lot of people just assume that it's expensive to eat plant-based without trying to figure out a budget. If you eat meat and dairy and haven't thought about a budget, it will be very expensive, more so even. Sorry for the long comment. ^.^

I'm always interested in research and do my best to find out who is behind the study, it is difficult to omit bias on all sides. While in nursing school I saw how human muscle looks just like animal muscle (duh ;) ) that not only grossed me out lol it caused me to evaluate my meat eating habits. Eventually I gave up meat mostly due to the fear and sadness it causes, and if it helps me stick around longer to see grand kids grow up that's awesome.

Amet, this is not a question of « taking over the world », it simply means that hospitals, schools and elders homes all over the country will reajust their menus with something containing way less meat and dairy which, at the end of the day, is excellent for our planet and our health. Furthermore, this new guide will serve as an example of what a « good nutrition » is for children in schools and patients in hospitals, which will help them to diversify their menus and learn new, delicious, healthy , cheap(er) and sustainable ways to eat for their entire life. At the end of the day this can only be interpreted as a much needed change in every aspect!

AmetReloads Listen, I’m not implying that the guide is some sort of vegan propaganda, just that it’s a scientific improvement. Now, I don’t know if you’re Canadian, but if you were you would know that this is document is, in fact, important : teachers use it in primary schools, highschools and even universities to teach the basics of nutrition ; hospitals use it as a guide to conceive their menus and school cafeterias do too ; it serves as a justification to give free milk to children everyday in schools and kindergartens, etc. I personally remember having to memorize it in many classes as a child and nowadays I work in a primary school and our student’s parents are asked to prepare their kids lunches according to this guide. Furthermore, the new guide specifically says that cholesterol is not an enemy and that processed food, saturated fat and sugar are the real problems. Please, read it carefully and learn about its impacts before being agressive as I was only rejoicing.

I don't know if it was a joke everywhere, but in Michigan there was a joke about eating beans and rice because you weren't getting paid enough--sort of like how people make jokes about collage students eating roman noodles now. Most plant foods are pretty cheap if you're willing to cook it yourself, and if you're not buying eggs, cheese, milk, and several pounds of meat a week, then you've got more money to get whole grains and dry beans to add to the veggies you've should be eating anyway.

I think when food inequality comes up, it's not so much about not recommending vegetables, but recommending vegetables that are accessible, cheap, easy to store and prepare. Fresh greens might look nice, but they do require one to shop often and prepare their foods within a daily routine.

I’m happy with the food guide, for now. We, Canadians, all had a chance to contribute our opinions to it, which I liked. I know that I took full advantage and included everything that I have learned on the benefits of a vegan diet. I look forward to a new chart in a couple of years, which totally removes animal and fish products, and includes health activities, for our well-being, like mandatory visits to animal sanctuaries for petting and hugging happy cows, pigs, goats, chicken, lambs, geese, ducks, rabbits....you get the idea.😄👍

Yes I submitted my input for this as well and even sent an email to the Minister of Health and I was surprised to get an email back. These changes are a great first step and yes hopefully the next revision will eliminate animal products entirely. I met with our school principal today to request plant based meal options be added to our hot lunch program menu. He was very receptive and I feel confident that there will be options available when the ordering is opened for the next time period. We offered to help provide recipes and resources for educating. Fingers crossed! ☺

I was very happy to see this progress! They actually had a way for Canadians to contribute to the new guide by answering a bunch of survey questions about the last version of the guide and where we wanted to see the new guide differ. I remember being so bolstered by the number of comments at the end of the survey left by vegans/vegetarians/plant based Canadians who wanted to see more emphasis on plant foods. It seems like this influence, from the Canadian people ourselves, had a real impact. It’s such a wonderful feeling to have the government actually listen to its people! While there is still room for improvement, I am feeling very proud to be Canadian today ❤️ 🇨🇦

Canadian here. I can speak a bit about the recent obesity spike from ~15-20% from about 1975 to 2000, and suddenly shooting up to above 30%. Much of it had to do with very cult-like diet regiments, mainly the Atkins diet, paleo diet, and the ketogenic diet is the most recent one. A few people had astounding results on them; but that is largely because they cut all the potato chips, cakes, and fast food out of their diet, and at the same time, began starving themselves of calories. These diets caught on like a wildfire (half my office), and when nearly everyone else failed, they ended up blaming their own short-comings over the fact that they ended up heavier than they ever were before. No one pays attention to the fact that the healthiest and most vibrant people in the office are all whole-food vegans. They think we're the cultists =)

Yes, it's like the Belgium 2017 food guidelines - they finally stopped listening to the industry's money and started listening to science instead! 😁🌱 In Belgium, our food triangle starts with the vegetables, fruits, legumes (and tofu), whole grains, potatoes, nuts, and seeds: the foods that have positive effects on health, with no adverse effects. 😊 The second layer are animal proteins: the foods that have some essential nutrients, but also have adverse effects AND a high environmental impact. (They encourage that fortified soy milk is a great alternative for cow's milk.) The third layer consists of animal fats and red meat: because of its environmental impact and because "too much of it can be dangerous" (the average Belgian person IS having too much). And the final category, outside of the triangle is the ultra processed foods. This contains alcohol, soda, sweets, salt and processed meats (because of their risk of causing colon cancer, stroke AND type 2 diabetes)! This caused a lot of drama because farmers felt threatened 💁🏻‍♀️
