The two flavours of hogtown – might meaty and virtuously vegan. [NOW]
Could you eat for just $30 a week? That’s the equivalent that an American on food stamps is working with. [KETV Omaha]
How sweet it is. Mostly from amounts hidden in processed foods, Canadians consume 26 teaspoons of sugar every day. [Globe & Mail]
Foods that should be aphrodisiacs, but aren’t. [Funny or Die]
Local food bank use is easing up, but is still higher than it was in 2008 before the recession. [Toronto Star]

I bet I’m not the only one who has gone past Tom Jones Steakhouse and wondered about what went on behind that imposing door. Turns out, it’s way old school with career waiters, crepes Suzette and the WASPish service that is out of style everywhere else. [The Grid]
