A way to think about the way in which our family home buys, stores and consumes our food. If we are going to eat only that which is produced in Ontario it is going to take some forethought and planning. First I need to think about what I don’t want this to be. This is not meant to be an exercise in absolutes. I want to do something that others can easily replicate. Will want to replicate. There will be exceptions. There has to be. For starters I don’t think that Ontario produces a healthy fat! I’m fairly certain olives for oil, avocadoes and nuts are not really grown anywhere near here!
I guess that begs the question. What exactly is on and off the Ontario grown list? That would be a good first step. I know Ontario has a lot, but I need to better understand what I can get and when I can get it. This is a question of distribution. But it is also a question of quality in terms of taste and nutrition.
Step 1# - Make list of available produce in winter, spring, summer and fall
Step2# - Get feedback from the Little Critic and Big Critic about likes and dislikes based on the seasons
Step 3# - Look at the list again with respect to nutrition. Talk to some experts.

Maybe you should expand it to what's grown in Canada. At least then you could get canola oil. Not sure if canola or corn oil is produced in ontario.
