New food guide costs may put it out of reach for some
The new Canada Food Guide has been published.
Key changes include the abolition of the food groups and portion sizes, a marginalized role for dairy, an emphasis on eating more plant-based proteins, including more fruits and vegetables, as well some healthy lifestyle tips.
Members of the Prince Albert Food Bank are reacting favourably to the changes, but have doubts how effective it will be.
Kim Scruby, the Executive Director with the Food Bank thinks affordability will play a bigger role in what determines people’s food choices.
