It makes me so happy to see that Dietitians of Canada are taking a more active advocacy role. With the (eventually) upcoming federal election in the fall they’ve called on all federal party leaders to commit to a national strategy to reduce food insecurity and increased access to dietitian services.

When you consider the number of children affected by food insecurity, its heartbreaking. The well-established link between poverty and poorer health outcomes makes this issue a no-brainer for me. By investing in food security and anti-poverty strategies, the government is investing in the future. These wil be healthier, more productive Canadians overall. I’ll be checking in to see how the parties reply to DC!
