We need to change with the times in how we eat

This paper has been providing meal suggestions that are tasty and affordable. Furthermore, they are usually healthy and nutritious. These are easy to prepare.

However, the media prefers to focus on high inflation and how people can't afford groceries or go to restaurants. The media also features owners of bars and restaurants saying they're having difficulty turning a profit and hiring staff.

Unfortunately, too many people believed they were entitled to buy whatever was on the menus in the grocery stores. There was a belief that there was a ready supply of vegetables, meat, dairy products, grains for bread and cake and cookies. Warnings that climate change could affect food production were not heeded.

It is obvious that people will have to change with the times. Perhaps preparing and eating healthy food will make people begin to think about the genuine struggles of the malnourished, starving children and adults in Africa, Pakistan, and of course North America and our city.
