The Issue Of Maple Syrup

The Canada’s Food Guide has been in place since 1942, and nearly a decade has passed since the release of the current Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide (EWCFG) (Mortillaro, 2016). Critics believe that the time has come for the revision of the second-most downloaded document in Canada – in the interest of reflecting the changing lifestyles of Canadians (Mortillaro, 2016). At the time of its launch during World War II, male-female roles differed vastly, with stay-at-home moms preparing home cooked meals. However, according to latest information provided by Statistics Canada, 69% of households with families are dual-earners today (Statistics Canada, 2015). The effect of dual earning has taken its toll on Canadian food consumption patterns (Mortillaro, 2016). Consequently, the existing food guide has received mixed reviews and immense criticism by several researchers, and has even been declared “obesogenic” (Corby, 2007; Kondro, 2006; L’Abbe & Mahsa, 2015). This is particularly disturbing because according to the 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey, 59% of the adult population is overweight and 1 in 4 is obese; the numbers are even more alarming regarding children and adolescents (Karmali et al., 2010). The cause of the obesity epidemic might be right at our fingertips with the “Unhealthy Food Guide” that is imposed on Canadians. One strict change that must occur to the food guide includes disassociating 100% fruit juices as vegetable and fruit sources, and thereby removing

In the wake of recent events myself and the Canadian Government would like to release a statement on the current state of our country’s race relations. Last month with the recent riots in Baltimore that took place on the 28th of april following Freddie Gray 's funeral. Freddie Gray was a member of a sadly impoverished community of African-Americans in Baltimore who like many others in such a situation had trouble with the police. These riots were preceded by peaceful protests that shed light on the current state of America’s police system but sadly they were overshadowed by riots and violence.

Will McAvoy, the news anchor of HBO’s hit TV-drama The Newsroom once said, “The first step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one”. Canadians have heard of climate change cries for decades. However, this constant bombardment has lost its effect. As a result, Canadians have been taking baby steps towards resolving this environmental issue. The changes in the ecosystem of Canada and other countries around the world are discussed constantly. The fact is humans are using up the Earth’s resources before they can be replenished. Canadians should reevaluate their lifestyle because their fundamental survival needs such as: land, water and air are being affected tremendously. Through a goal shared by the Canadian Government, big corporations and the average Canadian, that’s when true change can occur.

Standards of identity or quality do not exist for fresh or dried fruits and vegetables, or butter, but avocados, cantaloupes, citrus fruits, and melons do have such standards. An intriguing court case is Jam vs. United States, in which 62 cases discuss imitation fruit jams and if they indeed are misbranded. As they were labelled ‘imitation’ and not attempted to be passed as real fruit jams, it was found to be in compliance with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (340 U.S. 599 (1951)). Labelling has been in the news recently, and even when the law was written eighty years prior, apparently it was still a point of contention. Labels must state artificial flavorings, chemicals, preservatives, serving size, number of servings or units per container, calories, calories from fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrates, sugars, fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals, and if it is a raw agricultural commodity, pesticides or chemicals applied after harvest. Pesticide residue is determined by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, and this particular requirement refers to the Toxic Substances Control Act, which in section four declares that states may petition to establish a limit on acceptable residual levels. Infant formula has strict nutritional specifications under this section, compiled in Index

Since 1867, Canada has been attempting to become its own independent nation. Canada has been trying to achieve its freedom from external control and influence from the United Kingdom, and be rewarded with the right of self-government. Canadian leaders and heroes have been persistent on proving that Canada is capable of growing up and separating from its mother country, Britain. This sovereignty could bring Canada many opportunities, which she would have never come close to, as a colony of the British. Canada has dreamed of being able to make its own decisions, as a child would dream of becoming an adult. Over the years, Canada has proven this and become more autonomous through wars, treaties and its relationship with countries all over the

Currently, Canada’s economic base is quite strong considering its developed status and demographic factors. These include the birth rate death rate, GDP, natural increase rate, dependancy load, life expectancy, etc. Also, I will explain the current immigration situation in Canada, its importance, and its potential future, as well as further factors that may effect the immigration to Canada. I will also briefly write about Canada’s First Nation people, their current situation residing in Canada, and what the future has inscribed for them. The future will bring a completely brand new perspective towards Canada, not only for its citizens, but also its surrounding countries. I have accumulated some thoughts on the account of Canada 's future.

In today’s society there are regulations in place for everything- from the safety of children’s toys to road construction to food processing and packaging. “Regulations consist of requirements the government imposes on private firms and individuals to achieve government’s purposes” (Litan, 2008). Regulations are in place to protect businesses, producers, consumers, individuals, animals, and even the environment. For example, the packaging and labelling regulations in Canada protects the consumers and producers of the many food products produced in Canada, one of which is honey. This paper will focus on the packaging and labelling requirements of Canadian honey through discussion of the regulations, stakeholders and the opposition of stakeholders

As the sugary syrup is forced out of the hole, they form sugar threads that are about 50 micrometer in diameter. The thread is so fine that they solidify immediately. Because the sugar thread cools immediately upon exposing to open air, the sucrose molecules do not have enough time to regroup. The threads are not sugar crystals but are thousand strands of sugar glass, which is sucrose molecules that solidify without structure. However, if the cotton candy absorb moisture from the surrounding, the water will travel along the fiber of cotton candy, At some point, each droplet of water becomes saturated and that's why the cotton candy will become

Grade is considered to be the most essential factor to take into account while buying maple syrups and you can also make use of your personal preferences like your guide. Grade is usually determined by the color and to a great extent, by flavor as well. Certain factors, which affect grading, include the rate of evaporation and also the sugar content in the sap. Sample some varieties and find out which variety suits your requirements. Grade B is dark and richly flavored variety primarily employed for baking. More than anything else, it is the less expensive type too.

Maple syrup might not be considered one of the strongest economic sectors in the Canadian economy, however, it is an important industry to the livelihood of many Canadians. For eight years, the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers limited the production of maple syrup, according to an August 9, 2016, Bloomberg article. This article is entitled “Maple Syrup Cartel Battles a Black Market Rebellion”. The author of this article, Jen Skerritt, states that the reason for these restrictions was due to an attempt to keep maple syrup prices high. However, there are plans to increase quotas by 12 percent in the coming year. Under this increase in quotas, “the output could grow by 15 million pounds”. This could also aid in the restoration of the

Canada is regarded as one of the wealthiest industrialized countries in the world. This indication is contrary to the well-being reality affecting Canadians. Despite being part of the Organization for Economic Co-operation Development (OECD), Canada has lagged behind her otherwise wealthy counterparts in the industrialized countries being position 19 out of 22 nations (Breznitz and Zysman, 2013). This has been attributed to the precarious levels of poverty in a majority of Canadian households. The country has not recognized any official poverty measurement although other universal measures such as LICO is used for measuring relative poverty, a more determinable measure of poverty for wealthy countries.
