Refine and Repeat

Caprice just sent me an article on the Canadian diet … just when we were feeling so superior to our neighbours to the south in the nutrition department.

Here’s the gist:

• Canada has no pro-nutrition national food policy.
• Even having normal weight and a slight paunch is dangerous (that would be me, now …).
• Everyday foods can be pretty toxic.
• Canada does promote meat, dairy and crops that go into processed foods. The article calls these “profitable calories”.
• Canada imports 80 percent of its fruits and vegetables. I didn’t know that.

Here’s the article.
