More hurt for Canadians trying to make ends meet.
So when young families are not able to purchase groceries that they normally would have, they will buy what they can afford to feed themselves. This will be less healthy food, less fresh food, simply cheaper fillers.
Impossible to quantify, but I wonder what health effects this will produce as time passes. More heath problems, bigger strain on health care…
Not good.

well, I am going to the zoo on Friday, and plan on bringing the biggest bag I have.
seriously, though. Our family has already cut out beef, other than the occasional pack of ground beef.
Chicken is becoming rare for us, too.
So mostly pork, tofu or paneer for our dinners.
bacon and sausages are gone from the breakfast menu.
another year, we'll probably be vegetarians.
Was hard enough on a limited income before this. but with utilities, gas, and food going up so much this past year, it's difficult.
