. Agri-news. Agriculture. February 19,1996 GO GO GO GO GO GO GT Nutrition to go during awareness month Nutrition to go will be front and centre through the province - and the nation - during March. "National Nutrition Month is putting the emphasis on how to make healthy food choices wherever you go," says Suzanne Tenold, regional foods and nutrition specialist with Alberta Agriculture, Food and Rural Development. Canadian consumers are buying more hassle-free, prepare at home meals, eating out more often, eating more frequendy on-the-run and buying more prepared, take-home foods. "The theme recognizes that today's busy lifestyle, as seen in those trends, has brought changes to traditional meal planning and eating schedules. People want guidelines about how to make healthy, nutritious food choices wherever and whenever they eat," she adds. Consumers are concerned about nutrition notes Tenold. In the 1995 Grocery Attitudes of Canadian's, survey grocery shoppers rated the importance of nutrition at its highest point in the survey's history. "However, Canadians are still confused about what foods can be included in a balanced diet," says Tenold. "Fortunately, eating well and staying on a healthy food track may not be as a difficult as you might think, and that's what nutrition month is all ; "We're trying to dispel the misbelief that to eat well you must do extensive planning, shop at special stores and avoid certain kinds of foodservice establishments," says Corilee Walters, a member of the Alberta Registered Dietitians Association (ARDA). Overall, consumers should keep in mind the healthy eating philosophy of eating a variety of foods, serving sizes to meet your activity needs, selecting foods from all four food groups and limiting fat intake.
