Episode 3: Slow Growing

On Episode 3 of Foodstuffs, we look at how a meaningful relationship with food is best seeded early in life.

We talk to David Lockett, founder and volunteer president of the PACT Urban Peace Program, about PACT's Grow to Learn curriculum at John Polanyi Collegiate Institute, and about how he's looking to change the world by engaging local business talent and harnessing their resources for the good of those in need.

And then Bryan goes to Elmvale, Ontario, to speak with Wade Stamp, owner of The Saucey Pig near Wasaga Beach, and makes everyone jealous by talking to about- and then eating- one of his incredible pulled pork sandwiches.
