Food for Health in Peace and War was written by the Canadian Medical Association (CMA), in collaboration with the Canadian Dietetic Association. The CMA was established in Quebec in 1867 by a group of 167 doctors who sought to improve public health and prevent disease transmission in Canada. In order for these improvements to be made, the CMA “Code of Ethics” was created to highlight virtues that would develop trustworthy relationships and connections between physicians and the Canadian populace. This has been the primary objective of the CMA since their establishment, when the CMA’s first president, future Prime Minister of Canada Charles Tupper (pictured here), focused on providing ethical guidance to physicians. The CMA has become an organization that not only looks after physicians' interests but also communicates accurate medical information to citizens and ensures health care is accessible to all Canadians. Today, the CMA continues to promote the importance of healthy food being affordable for all families, especially during times of uncertainty and struggle.
