Some type one diabetics need to know how much carbohydrates and fibre they are eating in order to calculate how much insulin to inject. Healthy fruits and vegetables have carb’s and fibre, therefore people need nutritional fact posted no matter what. As for the statement below….

“Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”
Meaning: Eat real food-real ingredients that haven’t been processed beyond recognition. Don’t stuff yourself. Be mostly vegetarian.

…….It Doesn’t work for DIABETICS!

Super cool! Libraries are (with some challenges) making the transition to post-book. My daughter and I took the same class in the beautiful Whitby library – and printed a Lego block from a file we’d brought, on a key!

Comment on Downtown Toronto Parking Expensive? Don’t Worry, Just (Improperly) Use An Accessible Parking Pass by Sandy Kemsley

I was successful in having a handicapped loading zone created in front of our building for use by our disabled neighbour to access WheelTrans, which helped him considerably. Having solved the immediate problem, I stopped worrying about the rest of the illegal parking. There is an online form for submitting information such as this to the police directly: https://www.torontopolice.on.ca/core/driving_complaint.php

I am curious, did you make any progress with this? I am a volunteer for people with physical and mental impairments, and I watch very able-bodied construction workers using handicap parking permits on a daily basis. I am at the point where I am thinking to create a website and start posting images of them parking and then working on the job. People who really need the parking spaces are being forced out by those that are literally committing fraud, but I am unable to find any evidence that the city is making an attempt to rectify this sort of behaviour.

You also experience real problems trying to leave a complaint. The form doesn’t seem to submit properly, even with the most common browsers. Almost like they don’t really want it to work…

That site now does have nutritional PDFs for download. Unfortunately, it’s not the Toronto Fresh chain.

Seems someone started a website that would have the nutritional info but it’s not functional. http://freshrestaurants.com/nutrition.html

If you hit ‘cancel’ twice on the popups that ask for log in info, you can explore the pages. however, you cannot access the PDFs that show nutritional info. An error message comes up.

What a stupid response they gave. It’s so vapid and generic.

Great story and experience. Thanks for sharing. As for paperless two monitors are nice, five (my current tally to a Dell mini-tower) are even better. And that doesn’t include any laptops.

I think that you’re right about an industry-wide awareness, although it will likely still take years to act upon. Interesting to note that several people who I spoke with at this conference were also put off by the speaker’s comments; in the past, it would have just been laughed off.
