[Stop Overfishing! @dont_overfish]

me: *breaks up with s/o*
friend: there's plenty of fish in the sea
me: actually due to overfishing there won't be any fish by 2050

@SCSGastronomy is there such a thing as food choice when living in a food desert? Will my only fruit/vegetable come from the pizza purchased at the local convenience store or the lettuce, tomato, ketchup on my burger? Let’s bring fresh home! #produce #McDonalds #eatwell

Only about 3% of the ocean is protected—but it’s responsible for 100% of our top Instagram photos of the last year. https://t.co/nHPLMURf4l

“Authentic” is a word used in North American food culture. Is this an accurate turn of phrase or is it cultural appropriation? Can Thai, Vietnamese, or Chinese restaurants be authentic in North America? This week we discuss it in @SCSGastronomy #abolishauthentic #foodforthought

.@theresaalbert, nutri-instructor, has the new #CanadasFoodGuide to teach from. It stresses enjoyment of whole foods, so do we! Here, it is elevated to masterpieces.

We feed our pets @FancyFeast while the fishers who supply them are starving. Although @Nestle has addressed this systematic issue, we continue to support a supply chain riddled with slave labour. #justsaying #notmypet #supportethicalfishing

Mtl born Ryan Brown graduated from #SCS before his 20th birthday, and since has had great experiences around the world:

"I’ve made cheese and cider in Normandy, herded goats in Portugal, ran my own bistro in Paris..."

Ryan is back @StratfordON!
Join us for dinner Jan 22, 23, 24

Eating fast food burgers made from US beef supports a meatpacking industry that exposes workers to perilously unsafe conditions and then discards them when they are injured. Read Schlosser’s @MotherJones exposé about the systematic dismantling of #workersrights @SCSGastronomy

Think the recent minimum wage hike and slight rise in commodity prices are bad in your neighbourhood? Wrap your head around paying $16/Bell Pepper, or $28 per head of cabbage - the #foodnorm for those in Nunavut.

[SCS Gastronomy 2 @SCSGastronomy]

" Everyone deserves to be able to buy food at a reasonable price, why make the people of Nunavut pay $14/ container of orange juice, or $55 for frozen steaks? Help bring the number of families with food insecurity in Nunavut down, fund greenhouses #GrowLocal #FundGreenhouses "

[Adam Murphy @adam_s_murphy]

Did you know that 7 out of 10 Inuit preschool children are food insecure? Or that Nunavut has has the highest food insecurity rate of any indigenous population in a developed country?? Why can't we help our own citizens? #foodsecurity #NorthHunger #foodpolicy @SCSGastronomy

Turn any conversation into a conversensation with Canadian gastronomy! There are lots of interesting topics such as our national action on protecting our sea life. Grab some poutine and VQA wine and contemplate Canada’s national cuisine. #rebuildcodpopulations @SCSGastronomy

[Anna C @dutchdutchbaby]

@SCSGastronomy We know #terroir is what gives a wine its defining characteristics of place, but are consumers still missing out? Do certification regulations hinder #terroir of natural #Ontario #wine?

Question for the #VQA, why not let the wine makers play?

@bgoody77: “If the public can get 10 chicken nuggets for $2.49, and 10 grapes for $1.89, the chicken will still prevail. Sometimes it’s more about gaining public interest rather than availability”

Thank You to the entire student #team @StratfordChef School last night esp. Chef Cristina Bowerman of restaurant @glasshostaria in @Italy_global for a truly wonderful meal in @StratfordON #chefs #food #students #education

Fish was at one time plentiful. Due to illegal overfishing, stocks are now depleting rapidly. In a race to the bottom for low prices, the fishing industry is resorting to inhumane slave labour. What is your food worth to you? Where do we draw the line? #overfishing
