Sales of healthy items compared to sales of less healthy items | “Whether we like it or not they don't want cucumbers with light organic dressing.. What sells is fries and poutine.” | “French fries is what I sell the most.” | “There’s nobody in this business can make money [selling healthy foods].” “If you’re offering the choices they’re always going to go for the unhealthy choice.” |
Perceived impact of the ANGCY on sales | “It’s devastating… Horrible, our sales have been reduced.” | “Sales dropped 50%.” | “If we went into a high school doing $100,000 a year in sales, you’d be lucky to see $20,000 [if we implemented the ANGCY]. And I’ve done it – in [another province] not here.” |
