The Canadian Cattlemen’s
Association (CCA) has reviewed the
new Canada’s Food Guide released by
Health Canada.
Lean red meat, such as beef, is rightfully
acknowledged as a nutrient rich
and healthy protein in the new Food
Guide.
One of the biggest changes in the
new Food Guide, last updated in 2007,
is to group plant-based and animalbased
proteins in a “proteins”
category.
In urging the consumption of more
plant-based proteins over animal
sources of protein on a daily basis,
Health Canada missed an opportunity
to inform Canadians of the nutritional
benefits of eating lean beef as a protein
source.
It would be unfortunate if Canadians
interpret this bias toward plant-based
proteins as a signal to remove red meat
from their diets.
Dietary advice to reduce red meat
consumption could put some
Canadians at risk of iron, zinc, vitamin
B12 deficiencies and inadequate protein
intake.
A small amount of lean beef can provide
high-quality, readily available
protein and many other nutrients with
relatively low calories.
Many essential nutrients are found
in beef including high-quality, complete
protein, all essential amino acids,
readily available iron and zinc and
others such as riboflavin, niacin, selenium
and vitamins B6 and B12.
Furthermore, when meat and plant
food sources of iron are eaten together,
the absorption of non-heme iron from
the plant foods is enhanced by 150 per
cent, a benefit known as “The Meat
Factor.”
The CCA appreciates the Food
Guide’s focus on food waste reduction
as a concrete action that consumers
can take with regard to sustainable
food choices.
Indeed, Canada is a great place to
grow beef and is perhaps one of the
most sustainable agriculture systems
in the world.
In many places in Canada, raising
cattle is the best and most environmentally
beneficial use of the land.
Further, Canadian farmers and
ranchers are leaders in environmental
stewardship and sustainability.
Raising beef cattle in Canada accounts
for 2.4 per cent of Canada’s greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions.
On a global scale, GHG emissions
from Canadian beef production
accounts for 0.04 per cent of global
GHG emissions - one of the lowest
greenhouse gas footprints in the world.
Finally, CCA supports the Food
Guide’s recommendations to eat whole
foods and cooking and eating with
friends and family.
Canadians can continue to enjoy
Canadian beef on their plate, a sustainable,
locally grown, high nutrient
product as part of their varied diets.
