How does the RNFB compare with current food consumption patterns of northern Aboriginal people?
Current patterns vary from one region and population to another across the North. Table 6 compares the sources of energy in the RNFB for a woman aged 19 to 30 with the diet of Inuit and First Nations women of childbearing age in three communities where Food Mail Pilot Projects are under way, based on 24-hour diet recalls before the pilot projects started.
