1st Set of Readings

This article is about how hospitals in York, Ontario are trying to improve the food they serve and how this is greatly improving the patient's stay

I found it very cool that 80% of the food comes from Canada, of that 62% comes from Ontario. I wonder what percentage of my diet comes from BC and Canada as a whole

This article/report from the UN blames various factors for messing up local food habits and for causing a public health disaster. These factors include urbanization, the spread of Western Lifestyle through out the world, and the rise of supermarkets.

I found it very interesting that in Hungary and in some US states there is a tax put on junk food (pop chips etc.). Also in Hungary the money collected from the junk food taxes is being put into the healthcare system
