Afternoon Pint

Send us a Text Message.

We welcome back Canadian researcher, author, lecturer, podcaster and professor Dr. Sylvain Charlebois for another enlightening conversation about the current state of the food industry in Canada. We also chat about food fraud in Europe, how grocery stores operate, why a strike against Loblaws may not work, his campaign concerning expiry dates and what you can do to get better quality produce (think local.)
Since we brought up a few local produce gems in this episode, we might as well give them mention below:
- One of the best places where you can still get genuine quality olive oil in Nova Scotia - Liquid Gold https://www.allthingsolive.ca check them out!
- The farm share plan that Mike mentions he is enjoying is from Abundant Acres - www.abundant-acres.com
- We also thank Burnside Brewing for allowing us to pop over and record at their wonderful space… Seaglass IPA is perfection! Also these are the guys that make the perfectly crushable Toller Lite which is available in NSLC stores across the province.
