This cleanly designed, easy-to-navigate site provides a comprehensive overview of Canada’s national nutrition policies and resources. Clicking on “Healthy Living (VITALITY)” (found among the “Resources”) gives educators access to a resource packet for teaching consumers the principles of healthy eating, healthy activity, and healthy self-image. Consumers can check out Canada’s Food Guide to Healthy Eating, and assess their weight with the online Body Mass Index calculator. Three policy statements posted here address the nutrition needs of pregnant women, infants through age two, and children from ages six to twelve. Also available throughout the site are surveys on attitudes and eating patterns of Canadians, activities to test your body image profile, and tips on boosting self-esteem.
