The National Post rationalizes poverty and explains it away as “strategic choices” as usual.
Comparatively “conservative” (at least but Canuk stands) National Post, just released a heaping dose of copeium. It’s classic double speak and sounds like it could have spewed from the power books of the lamest CBC hack.
Here are some quotes.
“…Dietary Shifts: There’s a decline in omnivorous diets and a rise in flexitarian eating, reflecting adaptation to higher food costs and changing priorities…”
“…The cost of food may be contributing to dietary shifts as well, with a notable decline in the omnivorous diet and 10 per cent of Canadians reporting, “I do not buy beef.”…”
Translation people can’t afford food.
But hey, they are getting people off meat… just like they said they wanted to.
Traditionally, through history the peasant didn’t have access to red meat. It was illegal to hunt deer on the Queen’s lands etc. People could have eggs and fish sometimes… but mostly bread and water. In other parts of the world… rice… and of course bugs.
It’s a return to “normal” life for the non-political class.
Eventually they did quote someone in the lower third of the article that spelled it out.
“As much as people might want to make food choices based on how good something tastes or how nourishing it is, this isn’t feasible for many, says Taylor. “At the end of the day, our budget is our budget, and that’s all we have,” she adds. “And we’re already seeing people making different choices than they were.”
There you have it. They just can’t afford to eat what they want, especially if it’s whole foods (healthier choices). But, that’s surprisingly okay in a world with rising health problems directly related to diet.
How convenient. Now they can shame people later for the food they ate after they get sick.
