In a country as obese as Canada, public health officials are fixated on "food insecurity".

Anyone who is suffering food insecurity in Canada is probably a victim of some unintended consequence of another liberal policy such as a broken family or an addiction. Liberal policies always beget more problems which beget more liberal 'solutions' which begets more problems. The cycle never ends and the bureaucrat who thought it all up retires with a nice pension.

Politicizing health is a critical error that will result in much harm. It is the inverse of 'health care'

I am not sure if I should laugh or cry? Public health administrators are exhibiting all the signs of Liberal-Unicorn Syndrome. Do these people actually ever Read anything? There is a point where we have to ask, ''How dense can you get? Back in 2020 the internationally recognized charity, Oxfam, warned what lockdowns would do: 'Hundreds of millions of people on the border line facing food scarcity will be forced into starvation while tens of millions more will be pushed..." When the middle class, the group that is the largest and most generous in donating to charity, has its back forced up against the economic wall all charities see a huge drop in donations. But instead of an examination into the need for nutritious food and the best and cheapest methods available these cowards opt for a convenient federally approved scape goat: White colonizers.

I am confused by this post. What point are trying to make? Are you disputing that people who suffer from food insecurity have worse health outcomes? Is this in dispute? There are enough studies out there to prove this is the case. It has also been shown that when low income people have more money they spend it on food. Food is a necessity. We are one of the richest countries in the world and yet food banks are popping up like mushrooms after a rain. It might be useful to ask why this is the case. The remedies may differ, as you have pointed out, depending on the political party you endorse, but what fills and empty belly is food not words.
