It’s a scandal that so many people live in poverty in Canada and go hungry right here in Toronto. How much suffering and illness could we prevent if we just agreed that affordable nutrition is a basic human right? More social housing, a ten-dollar minimum wage and decent welfare rates would go a long way towards ensuring that people can afford good food. Is it too much to ask that school children should be getting their calories from a balanced lunch rather than a can of liquid sugar? Should we squeeze out the small farmers who set such high standards of quality and diversity in our food system? Or can we make strong urban-rural links through school nutrition programs and programs like the Good Food Box. > Find how how to put food first.
