The recent outbreak of listeria in processed foods has many thinking plenty about just where our food comes from.
I read an interesting editorial today about this very thing:
Michael Den Tandt wrote "Increasingly, Canadians are hyperaware of what they eat. This is partly a result of higher food prices. It's partly due to the childhood obesity epidemic. And it's partly due to greater concern about health, driven by baby boomers who are trying to extend their active life spans.
Mainly though, the trend is driven by the Green movement. Concern about food quality and safety is a sibling of the fight against climate change."

I don't think I'm alone in thinking that it's unbelievable that Maple Leaf Foods has over 2oo products on recall. I mean...200? It just boggles the mind that there were that many in the first place.
