<P> Health Canada has also developed a guide specifically catered to those who are First Nations, Inuit and Métis . This guide is similar to the general food guide, but also includes more information on a diet that includes more foods native to Canada, such as wild game and fish . The complete guide can be found on the Health Canada website . </P> <P> Nina Teicholz, author of The Big Fat Surprise testifying before the Canadian Senate committee on social affairs, science and technology on how Canada's diet--dictated by the current Food Guide, which is similar to the American nutritional guidelines--is "nutritionally insufficient" and that its focus on carbohydrates, including fruits and vegetables, over animal protein, is what is making us sick . </P> <P> "It took Health Canada 15 years before it revised the 1992 Food Guide, and it has already been eight years since the launch of our 2007 version . Canadians deserve an evidence - based food guide . We deserved one back with the launch in 2007, and we still deserve one today . From my vantage point, however, I am unaware of any official energy, interest or plan to update our current non-evidence - based Guide any time soon ." </P>
