Are We Products of a Food War?

Grocery day. I did all my shopping at the South Side Superstore and Sobeys (up the hill). Everything went smoothly, though I admit to a few yearnings. I bought all my fresh produce at Sobeys, even tomatoes. I still notice one batch at the Superstore labeled incorrectly. I give up.

Sometimes, I would like to do a "Rant" while walking down the aisles. I would point out the signs, the fine print, and question how we quietly became invaded and never even noticed. I certainly don't mind trying different foods from different regions and countries. I just am a little surprised at how few truly Canadian products are offered. At least here in Fredericton, the percentage is very low. Local grocers should strive to carry at least fifty percent of Canadian produced food.

I would have thought McCains would use local, at least Canadian fruit and vegetables. But this does not appear to be so.....everything seems to be imported except for potatoes.

As a Canadian, I guess this would be a good place to say...I am sorry.

I am almost into my third month. Except for trying to read the small print...this is not difficult. I just have had to change a few brands / choices and switch from mostly fresh to frozen. I do agree with Whitefeather in regards to Organic PC products. Most are Products of Canada. I found a few items I probably would not have tried or noticed.

I actually feel I am eating healthier. Normally, I would depend on my grocer. Now I am depending on me. Now, I make sure I am having my fresh/frozen fruits and veggies daily.
