“…Food insecurity during natural, economic, or public health crises, real or perceived, has a nearly predictable outcome [31][32][33]. While we expect food insecurity to be elevated during these types of events, the magnitude of food insecurity and, in turn, how food insecurity can be perceived by consumers who live in a relatively affluent economy has received relatively little attention [34] Beyond social vulnerabilities, there are individual-level risks factors related to health that also impact food insecurity [35]. The relationship between food literacy and risk perception has rarely been made.…”

Several studies of food literacy emphasise the acquisition of critical knowledge over context. This evaluation looks at how COVID-19 impacted food literacy in a country affected by the global pandemic. To our knowledge, there has been no systematic research that would allow a better understanding of the impact of uncertainty or enhanced perceived risks generated by a global crisis on the prevalence of household food literacy. This study looks at food literacy from a perceptive of how an event that has domesticated many of them can alter knowledge and the relationship people have with food. A cross-national survey including 10,004 Canadians was conducted ten months after the start of the pandemic. Results show that Canadians have learned new recipes. Canadians have also taken up gardening and have relied on several sources to gather information. This study provides some evidence that Canadians have become more food literate because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but less significantly than anticipated. Practical and policy implications are presented as well as some future research directions.

“…Meat consumption often triggers highly ambivalent feelings. On the one hand, it is associated with sensory pleasure and tradition; on the other hand, it is linked to moral, ecological, and health-related issues, also known as a meat paradox (Charlebois, Von Massow and Pinto, 2015;Buttler and Walther, 2018). Interestingly, the blockade effect seems to be linked to masculinity, traditionalism, and hierarchies, all of which resemble and maintain the conventional structures of power in the West (Hildé n, Jokinen and Aakkula, 2012).…”

While meat consumption is increasing in the developing world, it has plateaued in many developed economies. Optimal for health and projected trends suggest global meat consumption is set to rise further into this century, but not everywhere, especially in the Western world. Plant-based dieting appears to be taking a larger place in how consumers view food systems in developed economies. The aim of this exploratory study is to better understand consumer attitudes about meat consumption and assess the intersections between meat avoidance and attachment. It also investigates how prominent plant-based, or self-imposed dietary restrictions related to meat consumption are in the marketplace. Results show that a significant number of Canadians have adopted a diet which either limits or eliminates the consumption of meat. Some generational differences were reported. While many vegans are under the age of 38 (Millennials and Gen Zs), a great number of boomers consider themselves as flexitarians. Health benefits appear to be important for both genders. Women appear to be more concerned about animal welfare and taste preferences. Some limitations are presented, and future research ideas are put forward.

“…Banks, insurance companies are very careful with cannabis. The perception of money laundering linked to cannabis is still widespread in the U.S. which in turn affects how regulators manage risks (Charlebois, Von Massow, & Pinto, 2015).…”

The legalization of cannabis in Canada has been a controversial issue. Over the last few years most of the attention has been on the production and distribution of cannabis. As the public discourse on cannabis matured, the drug and inherent benefits remained misunderstood by industry, policymakers, and consumers alike. Lexaria Bioscience, a British Columbia-based licensing company in Canada, is attempting to change how we market edibles in Canada and elsewhere. This case study first looks at the market of cannabis in general. It then describes how the company began to investigate cannabinoids. Based on interviews conducted with key informants in the company, some key elements of Lexaria’s business model were isolated, including their challenges. The company argues that many people want to consume edibles without the psychoactive effects of THC. This case study attempts to conceptualize what the state of the market should look like to accommodate Lexaria’s technologies and the commercialization of edibles. A discussion on the case is presented and future research paths on edible research are suggested
