A new version of the Food Guide was announced by Health Minister Tony Clement on 5 February 2007, reverting to its previous title Canada's Food Guide. For the first time, it recommends people include a small amount of unsaturated fat in their diet. It also encourages physical activity: 30 to 60 minutes of moderate physical activity daily for adults and at least 90 minutes a day for youth. For the first time, the Guide recommends vitamin supplements for certain categories of people. The new Guide has been criticized for overemphasizing red meat, ignoring total calories and not going far enough to recommend healthy foods, for example only suggesting that "at least half" of grain products be whole grain. [3] For a summary of the allegations of food industry involvement and a detailed discussion of the purported nutritional deficiencies of the new Guide, please see Canada's Food Guide to Unhealthy Eating. |
