The situation is so easily remedied if the true intent were to make healthful recommendations. Health Canada could simply advocate for Michael Pollan's well-founded advice: "Eat food; not too much; mostly plants."  By "food," he means not highly processed. Were this advice followed, we'd see a significant decline in obesity rates and a concomitant improvement in overall health of the population. The resulting decrease in resources directed toward animal protein production would have a significant effect on the sustainability of our agricultural practices. Please note: recommending a diet of "mostly plants" does not mean eliminating meat and dairy. It simply recognizes the fact that the western diet includes far more animal protein (and its attendant saturated fat) than is necessary. Thanks to decades of rigorous research the issue is easily addressed. No need to search for super-foods or obsess over the latest trendy diet. Just eat real food, exercise, have a glass of wine. And relax.
