Not sure Hellman’s is a “food movement” (it is a mayonnaise brand), but they sure have created one. Great infographic, indeed.
The County of Huron is located on the west coast of Ontario. It produces more agricultural produces annually than the Maritime provinces all together. Recently a presentation was made to the Federal Agricultural Minister the Honourable Gerry Ritz’s Policy Advisor and the Provincial Minister of Agriculture, the Honourable Leona Dombrowsky. The message in the County of Huron’s presentation was exactly what is being said in the Hellmans Video. I am writing requesting permission to play this video in a County of Huron Council meeting.
