Ensuring all Canadian Children Grow Up Healthy and Happy

The GUHAH Way Organization

The GUHAH Way is a Canadian not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting healthy eating and the consumption of organic food for children. Most Canadians would agree that the health and welfare of our children is a top priority, therefore, it is crucial that we prioritize this mission for the benefit of generations to come.
If children grow up healthy and happy, there is a greater chance that they will reach their full potential.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is the following:

1. No child in Canada starts their school day hungry, therefore, breakfast should be served in every school in Canada;

2. No child in Canada leaves school hungry, therefore, lunch should be served in every school in Canada; and

3. By law, all of the food served in schools in Canada must be nutritious and must be organic.

95% of the food we consume is produced by large industrial farms which use an abundance of synthetic chemicals such as fungicides, herbicides and insecticides, in which their residues remain on (and in) the food we eat.

DID YOU KNOW

Children and fetuses are most vulnerable to pesticide exposure because their immune systems, bodies and brains are still developing. Early exposure can increase risk of diabetes, allergies, gut health disorders, childhood and adult cancers, birth defects, infertility and pregnancy loss, neurological impairments, immune system disorders, and neurodevelopmental delay such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD).

Regulations in Canada governing the use of pesticides and the potential impacts of pesticides on food and health are among the weakest in the developed world.
