Food nourishes the body and gives us energy to get through each day.
Healthy eating is fundamental to good health and is a key element in
healthy human development, from the prenatal and early childhood years
to later life stages. Healthy eating is equally important in reducing
the risk of many chronic diseases.

Health Canada's Role
--------------------

Health Canada has provided national leadership in nutrition since the
1930s. Working collaboratively with federal partners, provinces and
territories and a range of other stakeholders, the Department develops
and implements evidence-based policy that defines healthy eating and
promotes environments that support Canadians in making healthy food
choices. Health Canada is also recognized as an authoritative source
of nutrition information.

Health Canada's Office of Nutrition Policy and Promotion and Food
Directorate are the main groups responsible for matters related to
nutrition. Some current initiatives include:
