Why do we trust it?

Because it was made to help, not for profit.

Learn more about why we trust it and how to check other information.

This fact sheet is about healthy eating and care. It explains that eating well is not always easy. This can be true for many people, including First Nations people. Some include the high cost of fresh food in remote areas and not trusting health systems. 

The fact sheet also explains what helps people eat well. This can include personal strengths, family support, culture, and community. Healthy eating is not just about one person. It is also about family and community. 

This resource was written for dietitians, but the advice is useful for all health and disability professionals. It helps professionals support healthy eating in ways that are culturally safe, respectful, and practical.
