We are most definitely the best looking Canadians





Yeah walking into a grocery store now makes me lose my appetite, just wall to wall sugary bullshit and fake processed garbage.

AYYYYYYY brother, NS here too

Yes and no. Its a combination of things certainly on the unhealthy side. Typically, on top of some of its more addictive ingredients its usually convenient, toss a frozen pizza in the oven, chicken strips in the oven, egg roll in the microwave, or whatever, makes it very appealing to parents and then kids eat that garbage day in and day out. On a calorie to calorie basis of course its also going to be more affordable, junk food is typically also high in fat, fat has 9 calories per gram vs protein and carbs which is 4 calories per gram, they also have a lot of what i'd call cheap carbs that have low micronutrient profiles.

With that all said though I think you do still attempt to lower the price on fruits and vegetables, certain dairy and meat products to at least attempt to entice, at some point there will be a value point where people say, okay ill get that.


Junk food is so entrenched in life though at this point I am at a loss of how you combat it. Clearly everyone is as more and more people become obese. Its illegal at this point to smoke around kids, harmful substances of age limits, should we allow parents to continue to shove pop tarts and coke down their kids throats, I guess so because I cant really see how you stop it.

In your particular case, I'd turn to rice, lentils, potato etc. and keep some chicken in your yard for fresh eggs and meat if you have the space. For fruits, I'd go exclusively for berries because nothing else is going to grow and the rest is gonna be unripe water with no taste of its own. I don't know how feasable it is for you but that would be my solutions of the top of my head. Chicken are really cheap and low in maintenance btw.

Chickens in my yard eh. It is below minus 40C here most of winter and sits at - 60C for long periods. Chickens would be dead so fast. If they didn't insta die from weather the wolves would have them soon after.

The Arctic is where geese are flying north too so there's always an abundance from June to Aug when they go back south. I typically take many. The limit on snow geese now is 50 per day per hunting licence in your household. So as far as I'm concern unlimited.

Odd year this year though, heat is driving some strange cycles. Early laying and hatching.

You can't grow fruits here either unless you tried indoors. It's permafrost. This isn't the lower south west part of Alaska where people post their videos if living in Alaska off grid.

I didn't know how far up north you were. You're conditions are comparable to Siberia. They mostly eat meat in different flavors and shitloads of conserves/ berry jams but they've got a proper railway connection with the rest of the country.

Yeah no roads or rails exist here. Shipping passages see only open from Aug to Mid Sept and freeze again.

All season roads connected to ice roads were considered but no one will invest into it anymore because environmental restrictions make developing out mines a long tedious and nearly impossible process now here, which means Rio Tinto is going to go elsewhere. Before it was seen as a way to service both public and private interests but it's dead now.

I'm just so thankful that Greenpeace and every other agency funds lawyers to block any type of economic progress even though the prosperity of nearly every province in Canada is off the back of its natural resources. And that we live in a world where people who don't even know where Northern Canada actually is get to use their public outcry to handicap any type of progression. Blessed be the Twitter user.

That dude would probably make a better game by himself

Most vegans/vegetarians have never seen the animals or how grains are harvested outside some tv documentary. I had to explain myself one time why I buy just enough not to throw anything away
That's city mentality for you. Most of them aren't in shape/overweight but "moraly superior". They can't fathom the idea that just because something is there you don't have to stuff yourself with it like a pig. But let's forbid everything!
I drink my espresso with sugar only. I don't need any chemicals foe sweets. I've never been overweight in my life either.
