Did You Know?
  • Canadians of African descent are at higher risk for many chronic diseases like diabetes, obesity, and cancers compared to other Canadians.
  • A “southern diet” or “soul food diet” of fried food, processed meats, added fats, and sugar sweetened beverages - often seen as the traditional diet for many Canadians and Americans of African descent - is in many cases a prominent factor in the development of chronic diseases.
  • A healthier, more solidly traditional model can be found by looking to the foods brought to the New World by Africans, along with those they adopted. This healthy way of eating is powerfully nutritious and delicious, and naturally meets the guidelines experts recommend for supporting good health.
  • When you are trying to live a healthy lifestyle, eating locally sourced produce is the biggest and most important step anyone can easily take. Fresh organically-grown produce is packed with nutrients which your body needs on a daily basis.
