Stop for Food

During this difficult economic time, there are organizations that are trying to help those who need a helping hand. One of those organizations is Stop for Food which is receiving $10 from each meal purchased at a number of restaurants. http://www.thestop.org/dinners-in-support-of-the-stop The restaurants can be found at the website; this is follows up on Winterlicious.
It is good to see that restaurateurs are acting in a positive manner and responding to the situation.
Stop for Food is helping generate funding for the venture which is now trying to teach the clientele at Stop Community Food Centre to crave things besides salt, sugar, salt-sugar, all nitrates and high fructose corn syrup. Apparently, when the chef who helps to prepare a drop in breakfast 4 days a week and lunch twice a week prepared chicken fingers the crowd cheered. Her other offerings are less familiar and she has educational work to do as well as feed bodies.
Nick Saul, the director of the organization is busy trying to change how we look at food. A mighty challenge to say the least.
I wish him luck because we do need to change how we view food and its preparation.
