he 25-year controversy involving BPA in food pack- T aging won’t go away. It continues to hang ominously like a black cloud over the food industry. Bisphenol A, more commonly known as BPA, is a chemical used primarily in the production of polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins. The polycarbonate is used in food contact materials such as food containers and processing equipment. Epoxy resins are used in protective linings for a variety of canned foods and beverages, including infant formula. Over the years Health Canada (HC) conducted periodic reviews of BPA to determine whether dietary exposure to it could pose a health risk to consumers. Based on the overall weight of evidence, including reaffirmation by other international regulatory agencies (notably the U.S., Europe and Japan), HC’s Food Directorate has concluded again unequivocally that the current dietary exposure to BPA through food packaging uses is not expected to pose a health risk to the general population, including newborns and infants. In response to growing consumer concern, HC hosted a huge expert meeting in November 2010 in col- photo: thinkstock laboration with several national regulatory authorities and inter- nized professor of chemistry David national bodies such as the World Even if there is little health risk, governments are Miller, shares this concern: “The Health Organization (WHO) and forced to waste scarce resources to respond unsaid danger here is how much the Food and Agricultural Organi- money and effort is being put on zation of the United Nations (FAO) to the perception of risk.

News of the unapproved wheat growing in Oregon, reported on May 29, prompted Tokyo to halt all imports of U.S. feed wheat. “We think there could be a short interruption (in U.S. wheat exports to Japan) and then they will resume again because there won’t be a problem,” Don Cruikshank, manager of the Deerwood Soil and Water Management Association and assistant manager Kelvin Hildebrandt have been busy Ian White, president and this year, first with monitoring the snowmelt, then the run-off from heavy rains on the May long weekend followed by more heavy rain May chief executive officer with 30 and 31.

n 1943, there were more than 200,000 ‘Victory Gardens’ as patriotic Canadians I responded to the call to help the war effort by growing their own food. Slogans such as “Grow Your Own Vitamins” and “Can All You Can” encouraged people to help ease pressure on the food supply by gardening, notes the Reading and Remembrance Project website. There’s no tally of how many gardens there are in backyards and community spaces today, but surely it is a growing number. Seventy years later, gardening is entirely a grassroots movement, with the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of victory gardeners wanting to become a little more self-reliant. They also want to push back against some of the “ills” that came with peace and prosperity — too much processed food, too much time spent indoors, and a disconnection from both neighbours in an urbanized society, and the farms where food is produced. Today, small gardens are again found on school properties and in backyards (and front yards!) and are once more putting home grown vegetables on people’s tables.
