Description
The video asks and answers the question - how much of the food we eat is Canadian and does it matter? According to Hellmanns, the amount of fruits and vegetables we import and the variety of food imports has risen dramatically. It matters because the result of increased food imports is loss of small farms, loss of farmnland, and loss of nutritional value.
The answer proposed is 'the slow food movement' - choose Canadian. If we (consumers) demand it they (food retailers) wll supply it .
