Various sectors of agriculture have stakes in what the food guide recommends so changing it is sure to make some waves. The full guide is not set to be released until late 2019. However, the \u201cguiding principles\u201d and some draft versions are out now. Judging from these early indications it appears the guide is going to undergo some drastic changes. One example is the guides shift away from meats and dairy products, instead promoting \u201ca high proportion of plant-based foods without necessarily excluding animal foods altogether.\u201d The key point being the end of that quote. Jennifer Taylor, one of the experts working on the guide, emphasized that \u201c[the guide] doesn\u2019t exclude milk or beef or chicken,\u201d instead it is trying get Canadians to consider protein options, like from beans, while also promoting a more environmentally-sustainable diet. Early versions of the guide also appear to have less of an importance on serving sizes, due to the fact it is difficult to pinpoint an amount that every person needs since individuals will need different amounts of each group and amounts of food in general. There will be much controversy over the changes to Canada\u2019s food guide. However it is important to remember that many experts using the most recent and accurate data in order to produce a guide that will help Canadians \u201cimprove health, meet nutrient needs, and reduce the risk of nutrition-related chronic diseases and conditions.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a77b795\" data-id=\"a77b795\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3aacfb6 elementor-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-category-list\" data-id=\"3aacfb6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-category-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" >\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dev.eaglerock.ca\/fschf\/category\/in-the-news\/\" >\n                                                <span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">In The News<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dev.eaglerock.ca\/fschf\/category\/your-health\/\" >\n                                                <span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Your Health<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dev.eaglerock.ca\/fschf\/category\/newsletters-2022\/\" >\n                                                <span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Newsletter 2022<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dev.eaglerock.ca\/fschf\/category\/newsletters-2021\/\" >\n                                                <span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Newsletter 2021<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dev.eaglerock.ca\/fschf\/category\/newsletters-2020\/\" >\n                                                <span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Newsletter 2020<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-95d44ca elementor-grid-eael-col-1 elementor-grid-tablet-eael-col-2 elementor-grid-mobile-eael-col-1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-eael-post-grid\" data-id=\"95d44ca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;eael_post_grid_columns&quot;:&quot;eael-col-1&quot;,&quot;eael_post_grid_columns_tablet&quot;:&quot;eael-col-2&quot;,&quot;eael_post_grid_columns_mobile&quot;:&quot;eael-col-1&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"eael-post-grid.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div id=\"eael-post-grid-95d44ca\" class=\"eael-post-grid-container\">\n            <div class=\"eael-post-grid eael-post-appender eael-post-appender-95d44ca eael-post-grid-style-default\" data-layout-mode=\"masonry\"><article class=\"eael-grid-post eael-post-grid-column\" data-id=\"1916\">\n        <div class=\"eael-grid-post-holder\">\n            <div class=\"eael-grid-post-holder-inner\"><div class=\"eael-entry-wrapper\"><header class=\"eael-entry-header\"><h2 class=\"eael-entry-title\"><a\n                        class=\"eael-grid-post-link\"\n                        href=\"https:\/\/dev.eaglerock.ca\/fschf\/2023\/01\/26\/it-gave-me-the-comfort-i-needed\/\"\n                        title=\"&#8220;It gave me the comfort I needed&#8221;\">&#8220;It gave me the comfort I needed&#8221;<\/a><\/h2><\/header><div class=\"eael-entry-content\">\n                        <div class=\"eael-grid-post-excerpt\"><p>&#8220;I want to thank all those who donated in support of the sleeper reclinerchairs.
