While rising approach Edmonton’s WECAN Food Basket Society.

Statistics Canada states “food prices have risen by 3.5 per cent” compared to the previous year and “meat prices have risen by 6.1 per cent.” Food prices have also risen due to the fall of the Canadian dollar, lowering to “76.70 per cent against the U.S. dollar” states the Bank of Canada and our current recession status may not benefit the worsening of food prices. There are some other factors to consider. The Canadian Ministry of Argiculture states that “Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life.”

16,000 a month Currently more than 16,000 people are reliant on Edmon- ton’s food bank every month. Studies have shown that post-secondary students are increasingly reliant on these services. NAIT also has felt the pressure of hungry students. Last year, NAIT was assisting more than 200 students with their food resources, “We are expecting more usage of the Food Centre [as time progresses]” says Matthew Pecore, head of NAIT’s new Food Centre. MacEwan University has experienced a 47 per cent increase of usage on their food bank, pushing the number of stu- dents using it to just over 600 students per year.

Food security Which brings to question Edmonton’s food secur- ity. An Edmonton food security report made by Becky Lipton, executive director for Organic Alberta states,) “Alberta is the second highest agricultural exporter in Canada.” Resources such as $303 million worth of lettuce and $235 million worth of grapes are imported to Alberta each year. Edmonton receives most of its food imports, such as fruits and vegetables, from California. But when that area is experiencing agricultural disaster such as forest fires, floods and drought, where do we get our food? Perhaps Edmonton needs to look at finding more than one sustainable food source. Alternative food sources some people are considering are things such as fruit rescue programs, where fruit from local homeowners’ trees is harvested rather than left to rot, or old-school methods such as home cultivation. Since most students do not own land to cultivate, it may not be the most practical solution for post-secondary students. An alternative food resource is Freegan living, defined by Wikipedia as “the practice of reclaiming and eating food that Thursday, September 24, 2015 NEWS & FEATURES The Nugget 5

This week, long-time Nug- get contributor Matt Mosewich and I debate whether the looming reality of having advertisements on jerseys (spun in motion by the new deal between the NHL and Adidas) is a positive or negative for hockey. Some say that having ads on jerseys will greatly increase league revenues and bring more exposure to the game. Others say it will become confusing for current fans seeing soccer style jerseys replacing classic designs and cause many to turn away. The general population of hockey fans are bristling at simply the thought of having ads on jerseys! What do we think? Read on ...

However, if you like cupcakes and you like pumpkin spice lattes, here is the solution: combine the two and do it yourself! Ingredients: ● 2 2/3 cups of flour ● 3 Tbsp of espresso powder ● 2 tsp baking soda ● 2 tsp of baking powder ● 1 tsp of ground cinnamon ● 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg ● 1/8 tsp ground cloves ● 1 tsp salt ● 1 (15 oz.) can of pumpkin puree ● 1 cup white sugar ● 1 cup brown sugar ● 1 cup canola oil ● 4 large eggs ● 1/2 cup coffee (to brush on top) Ingredients for frosting: ● 2 1/4 cup heavy cream, chilled ● 1/4 cup confectioners sugar To finish the cupcakes: ● Ground cinnamon ● Caramel sauce Directions: 1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. 2. Line the cupcake pans with liners. 3. In a medium size bowl, mix the flour, espresso powder, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves and salt. 4. In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, white sugar, brown sugar and oil. 5. Add the eggs one at a time into the pumpkin mixture. 6. Once combined, add the flour mixture slowly and mix on a low speed. Mix until it is just incorporated. 7. Fill the cupcake liners 3/4 full and bake for 18-20 minutes. Before removing from oven, use a toothpick and insert it into the middle of the cupcake. If it comes out clean, remove the cupcakes. 8. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack. 9. While the cupcakes are still warm, brush them with coffee. The more you brush them the stronger the coffee taste. 10. For the frosting, place the heavy cream in a bowl and mix with an electric mixer on a medium-low speed gradually increasing to a high speed.
