Letters from our readers

Be gentle on the environment

I would like to see you switch to using recycled paper. Please forward this “letter” to the right desk. Thank you.

Mrs. M. Stevens

I read your magazine with much interest. Thank you for terrific information and timeliness on the topics. Keep up the good work. One suggestion – your beautiful eye-catching glossy cover is too costly on the environment for a magazine dedicated to “growing” to continue using. Please consider making a safer, more friendly type of cover for this worthwhile magazine.

Publisher’s note: Over the last few issues, we’ve had tremendous feedback from readers like you. Your comments help us push the bar on every issue and we thank you. Many of you have challenged us to find more eco-friendly ways of publishing Food for Thought. We’re listening. We have used canola-based ink in past issues and we will continue to do so, but this time we’re also printing on recycled stock. You might also notice the cover is a little less glossy. That’s because this time around we’re using a water-soluble varnish to protect the cover instead of UV coating.

Where’s the cheese?

Is cheese made in Alberta?

Publisher’s note: Yes it certainly is. For more information on cheese manufacturers in Alberta, contact Alberta Milk at 1-800-252-7530 or visit www.albertamilk.com

It’s the berries

Any information about Alberta-grown berries would be useful.

Great magazine – perhaps you could have an issue on what fruits and vegetables grow well in Alberta. I know there are new varieties and I trust you more than books.

You read our mind

I’d like more about how people’s eating habits today are changing their lives.

Ms. S. Cissell
St. Paul

I’d like to see more info on new trends in nutrition and healthy eating.

Ms. L. Thiering

Your topics are already great and presentation is excellent. As a celiac and diabetic may I suggest you consider adding gluten-free or similar coverage. We are avid label readers and proponents of wholesome, good eating habits.
