Canadian Food Guide

It's a sad, sad world we live in when it take a countries government 15 years to publish a revised Food Guide. That's right the Canadian Food Guide hasn't been updated in 15 years. The new version came out yesterday. Did you also know it took 4 years for them to do the updating?

4 YEARS? No wonder Canadians are becoming obese at an alarming rate. Heart disease and cancer are at all time highs.... Children are being raised on junkfood instead of fruits and vegetables. It's no wonder our farmers are giving up and closing down.

Trust me there is a more indepth rant coming for this weeks issue of Shebytches.com

In the meantime here is a link to the updated Food Guide.

It's sad that we live in a fast food nation where the idea of a balanced meal is a piece of meat slapped between two buns. It's also sad that my nephew is overweight because he refuses to eat vegetables and has been brought up on Timbits and bread. We have to stop this! Educate the world, Carolina! You rule!!
