Food Insecurity: Canadian Families

Olivier De Schutter Dept: One of our best friends, the U.N., exhorted us Wednesday to make our land of plenty a prosperous place for the unacceptably large number of us who are poor, according to The Star. Yet today one in 10 Canadian families with a child under 6 is unable to meet their daily food needs. These rates of food insecurity are unacceptable, and it is time for Canada to adopt a national right-to-food strategy. I feel ashamed to be a Canadian today. Canada has long been seen as a land of plenty, Olivier De Schutter , the U.N. s right-to-food envoy, told an Ottawa press conference. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
