Over the holidays I thought just a quick several minute episode would be a nice added option to share to everyone this week and next week!

I recommend taking time over the holidays with your loved ones! And please consider going back to listen to another podcast that you may not have listened to last time!

May people who are enjoying a good meal be grateful and people who may wish for more food know that you matter.

If you celebrate - I hope you have a wonderful time. If the holidays are challenging for you - I hope you are kind to yourself.

Take a listen to Paul Moores who speaks to a wide variety within a career. There are excellent comments on being excited about lobster, food safety training, including in restaurants.

Since having completed this podcast - he now owns Shediac Bay Cruises: www.shediacbaycruises.ca

Here are some quotes:

There are many numerous lobster processing facilities here so there was one right on the wharf here. They still hold lobster here... they will process a fair amount of lobster and ship all over the world.

Food access ... most people see grocery stores as access. More people are looking at community farms, markets, we do local rather than supermarket... and there are becoming more access to local products.

I see a little bit of food safety... I mean I do a lot of training for people in food banks... I know there are a lot of security issues for people to get a safe healthy meal.

A quick note: Food skills is important, is discussed throughout the podcasts AND separate from food security in the definitions.

Tim speaks so well that I was enthralled about his farming experience, the importance of soil, the loss of honeybees and how pollination is super important to help support agriculture and food in Canada. Please do take a listen to a wonderful expert on agriculture and farming
