The Economy and The Impact on Local Food – Ideas from the Munk Debates
Posted in Food Politics on November 15, 2011 | 12 Comments »
There is considerable impact to food in the post below. If you’re hesitant to read the numbers, I encourage you to struggle through it and share it – it portrays a challenge that local and slow food sometimes avoid – and without dialogue on the numbers, how will we make the greater change that many of [...]

Posted in Food Politics on September 29, 2011 | 24 Comments »
I’m hoping that the following article might motivate people to share the story, add to the discussion and respectful debate. I’m not asking you to agree with me – but am hoping that we can put all of the collective information on the table to share in an open dialogue to make sense of dairy [...]
The End of the Prison Farm and Sad Statement on Farming
Posted in Food Politics on August 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Although this has been a heavily publicized story in Ontario this week I thought it relevant to share with our broader audience.

The essence of Quebec’s Distinct Society is in peril. CTV has reported that the city of Gatineau (approximately 250,000 people) has voted to ban poutine from it’s hockey arenas! They are banning other junk food as well but that’s not nearly the same thing as getting rid of French Fries, Cheese and Gravy (and cold ketchup [...]
