Document Summary

Discuss how eating habits have changed over the past 50 years. Compare canadians" intake of milk and alternatives, vegetables and fruit, grain products, meat and alternatives, and total fat to recommendations for a healthy diet. Nutrition is a science that studies all the interactions that occur between living organisms and food. Food provides nutrients and energy, which are needed to keep us alive and healthy, to support growth, and to allow reproduction. Sometimes, however, fast-paced lifestyles and food choices made available through modern technology contribute to a diet that contains too much or too little of some of the nutrients we need (figure 1. 1). For much of human history, in order to get enough to eat people needed to spend most of their day obtaining food ingredients and preparing meals. Even 100 years ago, the time spent for meal preparation was measured in hours hours spent peeling, chopping, baking, roasting, stewing, and then cleaning.
