Toronto is about to be home to a pay-what-you-can restaurant that allows everyone barrier-free access to food. Created by Chef Jagger Sean Gordon, Feed it Forward is an organization that's working towards ensuring affordable access to quality foods across the city through a number of different initiatives, and they're about to add one more. Residents in the St. Clair West area of the city recently noticed something exciting going into a vacant space — a new location of Soup Bar by Feed it Forward, one of the organization's many PWYC restaurant concepts. Soup Bar has existed in the city in various forms over the years, including a pop-up at Market 707 back in 2017, and the latest iteration will be officially opening for business on March 1 for at least six months serving hot and frozen soups, stews and chillis.

A new community fridge opened in Calgary’s Beltline neighbourhood on Saturday to help bring awareness to food insecurity in the area.

The Beltline Fridge committee, along with the Beltline Neighbourhoods Association, launched the community fridge and pantry to provide publicly accessible food resources for those who need it. Community members will be able to donate and take food items freely, and the organizations say there is no policing of who can access the food and how much of it can be accessed.

Located at 221 12th Avenue S.W., it will be run and maintained by Beltline residents and organization volunteers, as well as a subcommittee of the Beltline Neighbourhoods Association’s board of directors.

This is the first community fridge and pantry in the area, the Beltline Fridge committee says.

“Nobody should go hungry and no food should go to waste,” said Juliet Burgess, one of the volunteers who started the Beltline Fridge project. [...]

There is a certain feeling you get when you grow great soil that grows great food.

I think it's a Bidenesque victory, of bringing the country back from the ideological edge. It's a great thing for the environment and agrifood systems in a time of food scarcity due to the war Russia is unjustly waging on Ukraine. BRICS is a major player and Brazil can be the friendly bulwark for those seeking to keep everyone in their lane while cooperating for the greater good rather than fighting and creating more hostile environments. There is so much to do, to combat greed, to optimize everyone's performance - from health to eliminating poverty to saving the planet. We must start by letting people be so all can achieve a sustainable prosperity. Maybe it starts with Brazil!

i refuse to believe that boycotting is hard. my favourite thing in the world is ordering maccies after a late night at work/a concert/getting drunk. yes i do miss it sometimes. but the other night i ordered from a small place near my house instead and it was the most orgasmic burger i've ever had in my life. i very rarely say this but fucking suck it up people are DEAD

#ramble #also only 0.29 delivery instead of 3.99 #and chilli cheese bites #i swear to god the best food you'll ever eat while drunk is from the tiny shithole that's open until 4am #if you're refusing to do literally the smallest thing you can do to help then i have questions #it's FOOD. you'll survive #it's not even NECESSARY food #if it was like a chain grocery place and you don't have access to anything else then i would understand #but it's just NOT #make your own coffee for the love of god #when there is NOTHING you can do to stop this fucking tragedy. and let's be honest there isn't a lot normal people can do #and people say to you 'do this insignificant thing just to show that you even CARE' #and you DON'T do that???? what is actually wrong with you #also i've been worried about this since my last post about sbucks but this is Not an attack on the people who WORK at the boycotted places #because it is an absolute privilege to be able to leave your job and immediately find a new one

Birthday Cake & More

When my birthday comes around each year the obliged question is the place where we are going to have either breakfast, lunch or dinner. I love cake, and if it’s birthday cake even more. Which makes my birthday, a day where I overeat in a food contest kind of way. However, this year I decided I would not feel obligated to say yes to going out.
