When did you last eat a vegetable or drink water? We know food is important for our bodies and minds – health inside and out. The question some of us might ask is how can we afford and access this wide range of foods if we don’t know how prepare and can’t afford it. We may not have the money or the time or even access to a kitchen. Perhaps we need to advocate for all three of those things plus better representation of this guide in any meal programs we use, including for seniors and youth.
Challenge: In an op-ed for Maclean’s, Nick Saul writes that while we have an evidence-based food guide that tells us what we should be putting on our plates, we need to make sure everyone can put those plates on the table.
We must find a way to channel the noise and interest generated by the arrival of the new food guide into a re-energized conversation about how to ensure that every Canadian has enough money in their pockets to make the food choices that are best for their health and the health of their families. — Nick Saul, President and CEO, Community Food Centres Canada
