Canada urged to tighten nutrition rules after UN food inquiry
United Nations special rapporteur on the right to food Olivier De Schutter wrapped an 11 day probe into Canada finding barriers for the poor to access nutritious diets and rising inequalities. He highlighted 800000 households unable to afford proper food and urged stricter sodium sugar and fat regulation along with a national food strategy. Canadian Immigration Minister Jason Kenney dismissed the critique as irrelevant to Canada’s development needs. The piece notes regional price differences and access issues across north and south Canada and argues the core problem is healthy food affordability and availability rather than a food shortage.
