In the studio, Daniel sits at a table with a Shauna.

Daniel is in his twenties, with short curly brown hair and wears glasses, jeans, and burgundy and white TVO Kids hooded sweatshirt.

Shauna is in her thirties, with above the shoulders slightly wavy brown hair and wears glasses, black trousers and a burgundy sweater.

He says WELCOME BACK FOR OUR TVOK NEWS
FEATURE OF THE WEEK.
WE ARE TALKING ALL ABOUT
THE NEW CANADIAN FOOD GUIDE,
AND WITH ME TODAY, WE'VE GOT
DIETICIAN SHAUNA TO TALK ABOUT
SOME OF THE CHANGES.
WELCOME.

Shauna says THANKS FOR HAVING ME BACK,
DANIEL.

Daniel says YEAH, NO WORRIES.
SO WHAT ARE THE MAJOR
CHANGES TO OUR FOOD GUIDE?

Shauna says SO THE MAJOR CHANGES
YOU CAN SEE HERE,
WE ARE SHOWING CANADIANS
HOW TO EAT BY THE PLATE THEORY.
HALF OF THE PLATE SHOULD BE
DIFFERENT COLOURED VEGETABLES.
YOU CAN SEE THE BROCCOLI,
THE CARROTS,
THE SUGAR SNAP PEAS,
RED PEPPER.
COLOUR, COLOUR, COLOUR.
WITH COLOUR,
WE GET MORE PHYTOCHEMICALS,
WHICH ARE PLANT CHEMICALS,
WHICH ARE REALLY HEALTHY FOR US.
THEN THE NEXT QUARTER OF THE
PLATE ARE PROTEIN FOODS.
IN THE OLD GUIDE,
THEY HAD FOOD GROUPS.
NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT,
EAT MORE PROTEIN FOODS THAT ARE
MADE FROM PLANT ORIGIN.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Daniel says YEAH, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Shauna says WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
SO BEANS, LENTILS, CHICKPEAS,
THAT TYPE OF THING,
YOU WANNA EAT MORE OF THAT.

Daniel says NICE.

Shauna says YOU CAN SEE HERE,
A QUARTER OF THE PLATE
SHOULD BE GRAINS.
SO WITH THE GRAINS,
THIS IS QUINOA.
DO YOU THINK QUINOA
IS A SEED OR A GRAIN?

Daniel says CONSIDERING YOU SAID GRAIN,
I'M GUESSING IT'S A GRAIN.

Shauna says IT'S ACTUALLY CALLED
A PSEUDOGRAIN,
BECAUSE IT'S DERIVED FROM
THE SEED OF A SPINACH PLANT.

Daniel says WOW.

Shauna says CAN YOU BELIEVE,
IT'S NOT A GRAIN,
IT'S A PSEUDOGRAIN.

Daniel says DELICIOUS.

Shauna says IT'S FULL OF PROTEIN, TOO.
PLANT-BASED PROTEIN.

Daniel says I LOVE IT.
SO THE FOOD GUIDE IS ALSO
MOVING AWAY FROM DAIRY.
DOES THAT MEAN WE CAN'T
EAT DAIRY AT ALL?

Shauna says NO, WHAT THEY DID WAS
THEY ACTUALLY MADE,
IN TERMS OF, BEFORE THEY WOULD
HAVE A GLASS OF MILK HERE,
THEY'RE NOW PUTTING
THE DAIRY INTO THE PLATE.
SO YOU CAN SEE HERE,
WE HAVE SOME YOGURT,
THAT IS A DAIRY FOOD.
SO YOU CAN STILL INCLUDE
YOGURT, CHEESE, KEFIR,
THE DIFFERENT DAIRY FOODS,
BUT YOU WANNA MAKE
YOUR MAIN DRINK WATER.

Daniel says WATER, YUM.

Shauna says WE NEED LOTS OF WATER,
AND WE WANNA AVOID HAVING
SUPER-SUGARY DRINKS.
THINGS LIKE SODA POP,
JUICES, THAT TYPE OF THING.
AND THAT'S ALSO A MAJOR CHANGE.
IN THE FRUIT GROUP,
THEY USED TO HAVE JUICE
AS A CATEGORY IN
THE FRUIT GROUP,
NOW THEY'RE SAYING
WHOLE FRUIT,
WHICH WE'VE BEEN
SAYING FOR YEARS,
BUT THEY'RE PUTTING IT
INTO EFFECT.
WHOLE FRUITS SHOULD BE CHOSEN
INSTEAD OF SUGARY JUICE.

Daniel says MAKES SENSE,
TOTALLY MAKES SENSE.
AND HOW ABOUT THIS,
LAST BUT NOT LEAST.

Shauna says OILS,
SO WE WANT HEALTHY FATS.
TO ABSORB ALL OF THIS GOODNESS,
WE WANT HEALTHY FATS.
IT HELPS ABSORB
THE NUTRIENTS.
SO THIS IS OLIVE OIL.
OLIVE OIL'S FULL OF
HEALTHY FATS.
SALMON,
FULL OF HEALTHY FATS.
SO WHAT YOU WANNA DO IS YOU
WANNA MAKE SURE YOU GET NUTS,
SEEDS, AVOCADO,
ALL OF THOSE GOOD FATS
HELP OUR SKIN,
HELP OUR BRAIN,
HELP OUR HEART,
AND THAT'S ALL A GOOD THING.

Daniel says THAT'S AMAZING,
SUCH A BALANCED MEAL.
WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH, SHAUNA,
FOR CLEARING THINGS UP.
TVO KIDS, THAT IS ALL
FROM US TODAY.
