Teaching Health Education

I have a conflict.

The Ministry of Education in Ontario requires High School Physical Education teachers to teach Nutrition in Grade 10. They require us to teach our students about Canada’s Food Guide:

My conflict is simple. I personally do not agree with the recommendations that the Ministry imposes. I’m not sure how I can continue to teach my students the content in this food guide. What do you think I should do?

I appreciate your comments and feedback!
