Twenty years ago, the Ontario Public Interest Research Group (OPIRG) produced an educational booklet, the Supermarket Tour, which told a story about store-bought foods that many of us had never heard before. Showing connections among food issues, the popular Supermarket Tour has since been updated twice to incorporate more recent developments in Canada's ever growing and changing food system.
Using the supermarket as a classroom, the Tour asks questions about the products on supermarket shelves, providing a focus for discussion on a wide range of food issues, from labour to labeling, from marketing to genetic manipulation, from pesticides to profit.
Part of Tools for Change -- an annual series of skill-sharing and skill-building workshops designed to help you gain the tools for doing research, education, and action on social and environmental justice issues.
