US Food Guide Reset: A Practical Approach
•
Canadas Food Guide Stuck in Time: A Call for a Reset - Canadas Food Guide, last updated in 2019, is due for a full revision by 2024 but has yet to receive one.

Meanwhile, the U.S. has recently released a new food guide that is practical, science-based, and works with farmers to cut sugar and salt without the blame game. Canada could benefit from a similar reset in its food policy. Checkout Solipillow.com
