Like city dwellers everywhere, Londoners love their food, often arranging their schedules around its production, acquisition and consumption. Their social lives centre around it. They insist on great varieties of food, from Ontario and around the world. And they have hundreds of stores, stalls and markets, even online, from which to procure what they eat.

But how would we react if informed that our city suffers from widespread food insecurity?

Many would deny it, but the recent release of the Middlesex-London Community Food Assessment— as detailed in the Special Report in the front section of today’s paper — has introduced new findings that provide reason to ponder our city’s relationship with food.

Key components go into creating a community that has food security. The World Food Summit in Italy, in 2009, outlined “Five As of Food Security,” which are also listed in the recently released food assessment. They are:

Adequacy: Access to food that is nutritious and safe, and produced in environmentally sustainable ways.
Availability: Sufficient food for all people at all times.
Accessibility: Physical and economic access to food at all times.
Acceptability: Access to culturally acceptable food, which is produced and obtained in ways that do not compromise people’s dignity, self-respect or human rights.
Agency: The policies and processes that enable the achievement of food security.

And of course, there's the Russian side of my family?
Basically Russian food is a step down from British food in culinary artistry with the addition of plenty of cabbage and the occasional meal of pierogies, a culinary wasteland.

Can all be skipped with no insult to my ethnic heritage but I DO love caviar. But even vodka I can do without.
