Ill paint a picture:

Lots of cattle farming in Alberta too, so there isn't a lot of new age thinkers there who care about factory farming pollution of water systems, and that all that farm land could feed more people, and the terrible conditions animals live in.

So when I've gone on work trips all the food places at hotels and events are all beef/rib products and fries. Finding a salad or some vegetarian protien is difficult.

I went on a two-three day work trip and lost 5lbs from lack of food choices.

Talking to them is like being in Hicksville, with lifted smokey diesel trucks, etc.

I'm calling bullshit. I live here. We have plenty of vegetables, salads, and vegetarian food around the province. Even in our smaller shithole, redneck, hellhole towns. There's more than enough to criticize about this province without making shit up.

That's been my experience at Calgary hotels and trade shows...as well as interacting with people. One food court had Burger place, rib place, kabob place, some other meat place. My option was fries. The hotel option was fries except those were beef fat cooked.

If that doesn't represent Calgary, then the business and hospitality industry has to step up, because hotels and business events are where outsiders meet your ciry
