I think with all the recent problems in the food industry it is so much more important to know the origin of our food. We buy our beef on the hoof from one of two farmers who happen to be friends. Both farmers raise pasture the cows but supplement with hay during the winter months and hormone free which is a real plus. It's nice that we can stop by anytime and see how our cow is doing. So we always eat Canadian beef when served at home. We do the same thing with chicken and pork. Buying meats in bulk this way from local farmers is one way to ensure you are eating Canadian meats. I think it is important to choose Canadian beef because this supports our local community which in turn makes our community stronger. I agree with amyproulx, this is great information!

Thanks for this article. It's good to see that it is possible, at least with beef, to get some information about origin. How about other products? Can any of our friends at the other commodity organizations help us wade through the labeling issue? This is great information, Heather! Thanks for this article.
