I can’t eat healthy even when I switch to being a vegetarian, sad.

Meet the Food Industry Front Groups That Push for Carcinogens in Your Food

Pseudoscience, front groups and smear campaigns against scientists questioning industrial agriculture are used to convince the public that chemical-ridden food is safe.

You might remember the California Farm Bureau from the movie Food, Inc., in which they were caught on film arguing that foods containing clones should not be labeled. Or perhaps you've heard of the California Strawberry Commission's pet cause du jour: legalizing the pesticide methyl iodide, a carcinogen so potent it is used to induce cancer in the lab. In other words, this is not the bunch that government regulators and health professionals should turn to for unbiased, factual information about the danger of pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables.

Wow, I didn't realize Canadians imported all their vegetables from the states. Maybe you should think about starting a garden out back so you don't starve.

It's way to cold up there to grow a garden.

Depends on where you live. My aunt has a garden every year and has as long as I have known her.
