A Sunday Poem: “Beef”

 

Canada’s cattle industry

receives federal support.

 

Investments

in forage improvement,

breeding programs,

insurance coverage.

 

Helping farmers stay innovative,

expand market opportunities,

manage business risks.

 

Meanwhile,

Canada’s new food guide

warns of items

that undermine healthy eating.

 

Like,

sugary drinks,

margarine,

red meat.
