Maya Villeneuve presented the findings of the 2nd wave of the Canadian Community Health Survey — Nutrition, published in 2006. The survey indicates notably that Canadians obtain on average one third of their calories from fat. In addition, a significant proportion of children and adults do not eat the minimum five servings recommended of Vegetables and Fruit. The situation is no better when it comes to Milk Products. Regardless of the food group, females are more likely than males to consume less than the recommended number of servings.
