Canadians can’t afford food, but waste a lot of itHow can a country throw out billions of dollars in food while millions of people face food insecurity? This is VANCOLOUR host Mo Amir asks Greater Vancouver Food Bank CEO David Long to explain the unsustainable surge in food bank demand across British Columbia. What can be done to bridge the gap between food waste and hunger? Plus, is there a legal remedy to hold major food wasters — like grocery chains or producers — accountable for the public good? Kyla Lee delivers her verdict on Kyla’s Court! And Dr. Melissa Lem breaks down why our food and drink choices this holiday season may be even worse for us than we think.Recorded: December 8, 2025
