We've seen how supply management for dairy, poultry and eggs hurts a) consumers through artificially high prices; b) food processors (and the jobs they could be creating in Canada) because of their inability to compete internationally; c) exporters of all kinds looking for
more international trade access, but which Canada is denied because of supply management; d) the majority of Canadian farmers (over 90 per
cent)-- those who grow and produce beef, pork,
grains, oilseeds, pulses, and who are not supply managed — who would also benefit from
more international trade access; and finally e) most ironically, dairy farmers themselves, also prevented from exploiting international growth opportunities.
Whole
grain options (the few that are available from vendors) cost five or ten additional
cents per student, so you can understand why schools are not exactly itching to get
more of these healthy foods into their lunch rooms.
The
more soot, the
more darkening, but as little as a few parts per billion by weight reduces the albedo of pure snow (that is, collections of
grains of ice) by a few per
cent in the visible part of the spectrum.
