Canada’s Food Guide’s main strengths are its ease of use, scientific foundation, and its frequency of updates. Its weaknesses lie in the fact that simply consuming an adequate number of servings from each food group does not necessarily guarantee that an adequate amount of every nutrient will be obtained (in accordance with the DRI). Additionally, the difficulty of breaking down combination meals and the lack of information on serving sizes at restaurants may make it difficult to estimate how many servings of the various food groups are obtained.

Diet and chronic diseases are sometimes connected. For example, it is proven that nutrient deficiency disease like scurvy can be cured by consuming the lost nutrients. However, it is also shown that some nutrient exposure can cause chronic illness such as energy, fats, sodium dietary fiber, and food exposures, etc. making it difficult to set dietary guidelines. In addition to some nutrient causing chronic diseases, nondietary factors such as stress, lack of exercise, smoking and other environmental factors are linked to causing chronic illnesses (Slavin, 2012).
Michael Pollan’s book; “Food Rules” is a collection of instructions on which consumers can rely on to buy and eat healthy food. This book also suggests what we should eat and what we should be doing, with over 60 rules to live and eat by. He based the book on three parts; what we should eat? What kind of food we should eat?
