Yeah, good question...and I'm not certain I know the answer. The Canada Food Guide website does discuss how the revision process took place (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/food-guide-aliment/context/rev/rev_proc_e.html) and there is no mention of outside sponsorship to get funding ( but I'm guessing it probably wouldn't be so obviously stated if there was...). It seems like a food advisory committee of 12 individuals was chosen (one of them being the speaker I mention in my post), and they all seem to be nutrition/health experts from around the country. I would like to think that that in itself would prevent any one-sided influence to seep through the food guide, but then again, you never know... Thanks for the comment RAF.

The old health guide recommended way to much food from the industry involving cattle, due to the fact that it was in large part funded by the dairy industry of Canada. I am happy to see there have been some revisions. Do you know who paid for the new food guide? I find you learn the real truth when you follow the cash flow. This time they I hope they used science and not funding to determine healthy eating and by your review, I'm sure they did. Great article. RAF Great Article,
