FOOD INCREASE COSTS ARE HURTING CANADIANS.

Are you feeling the impact of food inflation in your home? What are you being impacted by the most with food inflation? As many of you know I have been heavily involved in food advocacy, food insecurity, & reduction of food waste initiatives through my volunteer work with grass-roots community groups and, on both provincial and federal food policy boards to make a difference.

The duality of my role is working in the Nutrition Industry, I also see the polarization and divide between practitioners in this field pushing either

“eat organic, shop the outside of the grocery store, no prepackaged or commercial foods”

or

” ‘organic’ is BS, all food is equal, F@ck the nutrition industry as the frozen TV is just as good as a homecooked meal”

By now, you all know me!  I like to sit firmly in the middle, & recognize that we all need to make our own choices & everyone (regardless of which side you sit on is welcome at MY table). Cause here is the thing…. both sides are missing a BIG KEY piece to the conversation!! It is a privilege to preach either of those things.

 

 

TODAY- 1 in 8 homes in Canada are food insecure, amounting to 4.4 million people, including more than 1.2 million children living in food secure and this number is expected to spike in 2022 due to further food inflation costs.

This is where I say things that might not be so popular and deliver the hard truth that it’s time people get off the social media soapbox and get their feet down on the ground and in the dirt to help families get food on the table in any way they can!

 

People are going hungry in our country and that is a priority. The low income and accessible foods are increasing making it even harder for people to get the once known “affordable foods”, so we need to start having a real conversation. There area few sources that have been discussing projections for food inflation costs that are I have linked below,
