Not the same old food guide...


This is the Nunavut Food Guide, and I love how it incorporates so many aspects of life up here. The overall shape is an ulu (not the rainbow or the pyramid that I remember from Home Ec. class!). There's a lot of traditional foods on it, especially in the protein section. People who eat a diet of 'country food' are generally quite healthy, and it's the sugar, fat, and processed foods dominating the grocery store shelves that cause so many health issues. My favorite picture is the seaweed, but my favorite to eat are the blueberries!
