This is turning out to be a really wonderful and inspiring story about entrepreneurship and youth. The Niriqatiginnga project has this small, super awesome team of youth and artists who are planning to launch their own food products for sale this fall and winter. They're planning to go out on the tundra and harvest a whole bunch of delicious cloudberries, and then conceptualize and design a whole campaign from start to finish. They're learning to plan events, media, digital and food sector literacy and career skills.

With all of these activities being developmental and emergent in nature, they are actively looking to build relationships and engage with grocery stores, gift shops and distributors who might want to order their creations. They’re also seeking food sector input and networking to give them a bit of advice and guidance as we collectively learn and grow.

They're also hoping that people will support in sharing this post, and passing along within their networks. This could make a huge difference to the youth entrepreneurs and their project. Please pass it along to those who might be interested, and encourage them to reach out to them!

It's a great example of youth contributing to addressing northern food insecurity head on.

Foods high in protein should be a staple of everyone's diet. Besides being absolutely essential in helping your body build big, bulging muscles, a new study proves that even Grandma needs protein to preserve her healthy (no matter how small) muscle mass.

​

So, the question becomes, "What are the healthiest, leanest, and tastiest protein sources?" Below is a list, in no particular order, of the 10 best foods high in protein. Vegetarian? We've got you covered too with a mix of non-meat products, so no excuses!

​

1 - Chicken Breast - 3.5 oz., 30 grams of protein (Go with the

2- 99% fat-free boneless, skinless variety for the leanest choice.)

3- Turkey - About 7 grams of protein per ounce

4- Tuna - 6 oz. can, 40 grams of protein

5- Salmon - 3.5 oz., 27 grams of protein

6- Eggs - 1 large, 7 grams of protein

7- Milk - 1 cup, 8 grams of protein (Go with 1% or skim)

8- Cottage Cheese - 1/2 cup, 15 grams of protein

9- Almonds, Peanuts, Cashews - 1/4 cup, 8grams, 9 grams, 5 grams of protein

10- Peanut Butter - 2 Tablespoons, 8 grams of protein

Yogurt - 8-12 grams of protein per cup

Looking backward, I wasn’t afforded much knowledge of healthy food or even habits with my food, I am interested in changing everything about the way and why I eat, I want to fuel my body for the future not suffice the grumble, I want to prepare for future illness and injury, and I have noticed a stigma when I am trying to educate my self from the fast food lanes and even now big super markets, I want to read up on anything that anyone who reads this thinks helped them and will help anyone looking to start like a baby and relearn food! Best on your journey!

Hi! sharing this event next week on Palestinian food sovereignty with Vivien Sansour (founder of the Palestine Heirloom Seed Library) & Laila El-Haddad (journalist, author of The Gaza Kitchen) that may be of interest to members of this group!

​

Join Middle East Children’s Alliance & Just World Educational virtually for a summer meal prepared by Laila El-Haddad, with virtual assistance from her dear friend Vivien Sansour. In this exclusive seasonal cooking demonstration, they will discuss resilience against both the physical and culinary partitions of the occupation – as well as its attempts to destroy diversity of food. In this moment of new imagining for Palestine, how can we create a plate that threads us together?
