Here are some of the biggest recommendations:

1. Ban trans fats.
2. Bring in a soda tax.
3. Bring in nutrition labels on menus and menu boards at restaurants.
4. Fruit juice is just Coke without the fizz. Stop pretending otherwise.
5. The current Canada Food Guide is awful. Scrap it.
6. The food industry should not be involved in setting health guidelines.
7. Crack down on false healthy food claims.
8. Bring in clear, easily understood health labels on the front of food packages.
