Canada’s new food guide has some interesting changes: it doesn’t include serving sizes, it pushes a plant-based diet and it acknowledges traditional food and food insecurity. Canadian health officials are working with Indigenous representatives to develop guidelines that take them into account. Food guides, like the USDA’s MyPlate aim to promote the latest thinking on healthy and balanced diets. They are also a reference for schools and tribal nutrition programs.
