Food for Health

March 6 to April 18, 2010

Food for Health and its companion website, foodforhealth.ca, produced by the Canada Agriculture Museum in 2007, take a look at the food we eat and answer the many questions Canadians have about their food choices, food safety and the role food plays in ensuring good health.

By combining hands-on interactive components, multimedia technology, historical artifacts and graphics, the exhibition showcases Canadian initiatives designed to ensure that our food is as safe as possible. Food for Health provides Canadians with the knowledge to help them protect themselves against food-borne illnesses through safe food-handling practices. It will also investigate evidence of links between diet, physical activity and obesity, and illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
