March is Nutrition Month, and what we serve our communities - schools, hospitals, and even townships - has been on the radar this week.
Better hospital food: A culinary institute in New York is taking a stab at hopeless hospital food, offering culinary students an elective on how to "break the old Jell-O mould" and
create higher-end food that can still work on a hospital tray line. [CBC.ca]
Reducing junk food in schools: Edmonton parents are writing passionate letters, pleading local schools to
stop rewarding kids with Donut Days [Edmonton Journal], while
Ottawa considers a "fat tax" on junk food and pop, in part to reverse obesity trends growing at alarming rates in kids and teens. [Vancouver Sun].

setting up community freezers to house local fare like Arctic char, caribou, seal and muskox. It is a response to global food insecurities, since communities in the far north depend on cheap gas to ship imported, store-bought foods at affordable prices. [NunatsiaqOnline.com]
Canadians eating healthier overall: A recent Angus Reid Poll - commissioned by Loblaws Cos. Ltd. - shows
76 per cent of Canadians are actively eating healthier than they were just 3 years ago. And who's the healthiest of us all? Beautiful British Columbia! [Montreal Gazette]
