According to the magazine, “Homemaker’s sent six under- cover dieticians into 44 public high schooi cafeterias in and around Vancouver, Calgary, Mon- - treal and ‘Halifax ‘for a 2%-week . periad in October.” - The'44 undercover food snoops were recording in gravy-spattered ° notebooks how many good, fresh and nutritious food items were available for the school’s students to eat. Carson Graham, according to Homemaker’s, had precious little. Fresh fruit was non-existent (discontinued because of un- popularity), and the few fresh vegetables offered “were visually unappealing.” A sampled pot roast (the meat : was fatty) was given a marginal _ five out of 10 on the dietician’ 8 Richter scale. ° And fries were found to be serv- ed daily and were “the most popular item with students" Carson. Yikes! No wonder the younger generation is finding it hard to get a grip on what's happening out . there. After all, you are what you eat. Or as they might say at CG: You is what you eats, Dude. By the way, the best high school ° cafeteria in B.C.; according to Homemaker’s, was Kitsilano Sec- ondary. ; Table Hopping’s next stop.

A humble piece of Table Hopp- ing advice: focus on a single wine type or region; attempting to sam- ple all 400 is a job best left to pro-. fessional wine-sops like the News * Now section’s astute Wine Spots columnist John Moore. Other events during Wine Week include the ever-popular Bac- chanalia Gala opening night on Wednesday, April 21, in the British Columbia Room of the Hotel Vancouver; a Great Cabernets of the World taste-off on Friday, April - 23; an Expand Your Horizons fies- ta of food and wine pairings at Burnaby’s Horizons restaurant and « a Single Quinta Ports sampling in the Governor General Suite of the Pan Pacific Hotel, both on Satur- day, April 24.
