Just at the time that there was a national plan of action called Nutrition for Health: An Agenda for Action in which key things were identified to try to improve the nutritional health of Canadians, one of which was to teach food preparation skills--kids today don't even know how to cook--what did we do across the country? What was termed “home economics” is no more. There isn't that in the educational system right now. It's absolutely gone. Do we even teach appropriately how to eat? It's all melded in different ways across the country. There has been a lot of effort put in, in different provinces, to try to have curriculum that goes to health. It's a very significant issue you touch on.
