WhyC NADIANFOOD is becoming a

PRIORITY PURCHASEt's no secret that our food purchases have a direct impact on our health, but did you know that your choices may also have a far-reaching effect?

Many consumers pay attention to the origins of their food, preferring to choose home-grown products. This type of conscious purchasing has a direct and positive impact on Canadian farmers, beekeepers, and other food-related industries.

Take honey, for example. Recently, many brands have started to blend a foreign supply with a minimum percent-age of Canadian honey. As a result, less honey is required domestically and increasingly, more of it is imported into Canada. That's bad news for local beekeepers who depend on the demand for their product, as well as for the farmers that rely on bees for crop pollination.

But not all Canadian packers are giving in to the blended trend. Guy Chartier, CEO of Bee Maid Honey, notes that this producer-owned co-op has been a part of the Canadian food landscape for over 60 years.

IOur beekeeper owners take great pride in their

ownership, and take extreme care to provide

the best quality honey,” explains Guy Chartier.

”

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup minced Onion

• 1 Clove Garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp Oil

• 1 can (8 oz.) Tomato Sauce

• 1/2 cup BeeMaid Honey

• 2 tbsp Vinegar

• 2 tbsp minced Parsley

• 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce

• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

• Pinch Cayenne Pepper

DIRECTIONS

Sauté onion and garlic in oil until softened. Add remaining ingredients and bring mixture to boil; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.

“We source it all from our owners, and this structure ensures that our honey is of consistent quality year after year, bottle after bottle.”

Canadian honey standards are among the highest in the world, and the country's beekeepers work hard to meet and exceed those standards, Chartier points out. “So not only do companies like Bee Maid Honey support the success of our beekeepers and farmers, but you know that what you're eating meets strict health and safety standards.”

Be sure to read the labels on products the next time you're in a grocery store. It may be the best way for you to support local beekeepers and agriculture - and as barbecue season arrives, do try this delicious recipe featuring Canadian honey:

Change your PillowIf your pillow is older than three years and has not been washed, it weighs more now than when you bought it. It's loaded with dust mites that are next to your face while you sleep. Choose hypoallergenic pillows over down pillows, and use a zippered pillow protector that you wash weekly for a double barrier. Wash your pillow at least twice a year and replace pillows every three years.

Always use a Nylon Shower Curtain LinerAllergy sufferers are told to shower often to remove pollen and pet dander from their bodies. However, the phthalate chemicals in vinyl shower curtains off-gas with humidity and heat, and also attract mold and mildew. This off-gassing can easily spread from the bathroom into the bedroom. Replace your vinyl liner with a nylon shower curtain liner.

At the WindowLight pollution is an issue that people often ignore when trying to get a good night's sleep. A well-fitted set of blinds, shades or shutters is a great choice, and it can be a healthier one, too, as draperies can be dust-catchers. For example, Hunter Douglas Silhouette A Deux shadings combine the sheer, light-diffusing beauty of Silhouette shadings with a room-darkening roller shade for increased light control and privacy when desired.

Wash or FreezeStuffed Toys Stuffed animals and dolls are breeding grounds for dust mites. Wash them or put them in the freezer for 24 hours to remove them.

Keep Pets Cleanand Off BedsCat and dog allergies are very common, so keep pets bathed regularly to reduce the dander and don't allow them on your bed.

FlooringRemember that tile and hardwood floors can be a healthier choice than carpeting, as floor spaces are the largest dust collectors in the home and wall-to-wall carpeting can release VOC's if it contains certain adhesives, backings and sealants. Whatever your flooring choice, vacuum or clean it on a regular basis.

With these tips, creating a bedroom sanctuary for a good night's sleep is easier than ever.
