Canada's Food Guide Shifts Focus

Canada's Food Guide appears to be reducing its emphasis on meat and dairy in a healthy diet and instead recommending consuming more plants and plant-based protein, according to a draft circulated for public feedback, reports The Globe and Mail. Health Canada intends to finalize and release the new version of its influential guide in the coming months, but a report containing details of a draft version suggests a significant departure from the current guide, last updated in 2007.

The draft appears to move from four food groups down to three: "vegetables and fruits," "whole grains," and a new "protein foods" group. The existing “meat and alternatives” and “milk and milk products” categories appear set to be eliminated and instead combined under "proteins."
