"We have a society that's totally over-sugared, it's over-salted. And it's super-sized. So people have become super-sized, too."
Dr.Hans Diehl

Good nutrition is not only essential to healthy living and growth, but it also helps to keep you free of many diseases, including many types of cancer. But do you know how healthy your diet is? Canada's food guide is one resource that can help you make good choices for every age group.

We invite schools in British Columbia to learn more about our Healthy Living Schools Initiative, which includes tips on healthy food choices in schools. For more information on how your school can be certified as a Healthy Living School, contact a Cancer Prevention Coordinator in your area.
