#2Canada.ca is a recipe website now and it's what HN always wanted: a recipe with no weird preface personal stories about grandmother's or something drinking tea.

#3Let's get this straight....
For DECADES Canada.ca has been promoting the "Food Pyramid scam" which is in part responsible for woefully misleading children and adults into poor health, based on EXACTLY what the opposite of the science told us.
And now we are to believe they "finally got it right?"
BULLSHIT.
Maybe the government should focus on stealing less of our money and invading less countries instead of feeding us food propaganda?
I do not see a written apology on their website for the DECADES of what is effectively nutrition and scientific fraud.
Disgusting and shameful

#5This is great. A no-nonsense, modern take on healthy nutrition. It's simple (no more food groups, portions, etc.), and actually healthy (e.g. not catering to the dairy industry with a daily glass of milk recommendation, pizza is not a vegetable, etc.).
Compare it to this: https://www.cnpp.usda.gov/sites/default/files/archived_proje...

Oh, it’s still catering to some industries, they’re just far less blatant about it than in America.

I like it, too. Pretty much what I've been following for the last 1-2 years.
Would like more clarification on the saturated fats front, though (compare coconut oil, butter, palm oil, trans fats).

Basically, many of their healthy fat oils are actually highly processed (which are not recommended), while the non-processed unsaturated fats (such as olive oil) are not suitable for (high-temperature) cooking.

#9If governements tells you what to eat please be skeptical. They have got it wrong in past and they might be wrong today. The best diet advice always comes from grandma.

#10I hope that plate at the top of the front page isn't a suggested meal size!
Has anyone got some background on this, is it part of a larger policy? Is it going to be added to, or is this it now?
