Just came across this http://www.onegreenplanet.org/news/canadas-food-guidelines-cut-dairy-and-meat/ so I did a quick check. Here is what I found…
Here is some info on the comsultations http://www.foodguideconsultation.ca/
Detailed summary of the Principles http://www.foodguideconsultation.ca/guiding-principles-detailed
And the quick summary http://www.foodguideconsultation.ca/guiding-principles-summary
I wasn’t able to quickly find clear evidence that the dairy category will be removed, but it does say this in the first principle:
Health Canada recommends regular intake of vegetables, fruit, whole grains and protein-rich foods, especially plant-based sources of protein…What is needed is a shift towards a high proportion of plant-based foods, without necessarily excluding animal foods altogether.
It will be interesting to see how this gets put together into the final consumer recommendations! 🙂
