Document Summary
Canada"s healthy eating strategy has many purposes such as to: improve healthy eating information, improve nutrition quality of food, protect vulnerable populations, and support increased access to and availability of nutritious foods. It is rules/ regulations being placed on food which will allow society to live healthier. New labels that will be implemented will have bolded titles, separate ingredients by dots, and use the same portion size of 1 cup. The government would like to restrict the marketing of unhealthy foods directed toward children. In canada, the age is 17, in quebec it is 13. They would like to do this because people do not eat enough healthy foods and there is an increase in overweight children. There was a study done that stated that children rated cereals higher when they had characters on it and had a healthy name associated with it (healthy bits vs. sugar bits).
