Local beef, city lights - URBAN1TES WANT LOCAL BEEF TOO

摘要

THE LOCAL FOOD movement can no longer be considered a trend. It is well understood that there are economic and environmental benefits to buying local. Most importantly, in an era of returning to home-cooking, from scratch eating and a passion for quality ingredients, consumers simply want to know where their food comes from. Foodies and Locavores can rejoice all over Ontario. Canada is setting the world stage for the sustainable local food movement with Ontario once again playing lead. On Victoria Day long-weekend, Loblaw Companies Limited, one of Canada's largest food retailers, replaced the beef on their shelves with locally grown, corn-fed, Ontario beef by launching a new partnership with the Ontario Corn-Fed Beef program. 150 Zehrs, Your Independent Grocer locations and Valu-Mart stores will now exclusively feature Ontario Corn Fed Beef.
