abstract: The health and well-being of individuals and the prosperity of the country require a well-nourished population. Canadians face unprecedented challenges to the goal of healthy eating and physical activity. The challenges are complex and dietitians have a collective responsibility to respond as thoughtful, competent practitioners. As we embrace the future, we need to understand our past and reflect on how we will create a future that will support nutritional health and well-being for all Canadians. Dietitians, in partnership with others, must play a key role.
