Government of Saskatchewan Media release, December 10, 2019
Today the Government of Saskatchewan announced it has
committed $4 Million in funding to support an innovative start-up that will
take the province to the next step in food delivery systems.
“Skip the Dishes was a great success back in 2016,” said
Premier Wall at today’s news conference, “but, as you know, we are all about
legacy and we wanted to head into the next election with something Saskatchewan will
remember.”
“With busy families and the increasing complexity of our
lives today, every minute counts. Many people are just finding it hard to sneak
in a meal—even if someone else does the cooking and delivers it to your home, you still have all that cutting and chewing.
SkipTheChewing will address that shortfall.” Wall said.
“So when this opportunity
presented itself, we looked at the dollars and cents and we could see that it was a natural extension of the food
distribution efficiencies that Saskatchewan
is so famous for. Skilled people grow the food for us, process and package it, and
then prepare it as a meal and deliver it to your door—that is all good, but this is a chance for us to invest in the next value-add
to the whole system from farm to mouth.”
SkipTheChewing’s CEO, Jade Soylent described the health
benefits of their outsourcing services. “The data is showing that people are
developing gastrointestinal diseases ranging from ulcers to colitis simply
because they are rushing and not properly chewing their food. We say let the
experts do the work for you. We have a full suite of nutritious and tasty options
for our customers—from our mastication artisans who will pre-chew your food to
your specifications on site, to shakes made of 'Just Like Angus' beef and locally-sourced
potatoes, to our daybreak intravenous package, with your daily nutrition delivered
at bedside while you wake to the gentle sounds of Zen gongs and ocean waves.”
Premier Wall concluded saying “this new investment from the
province will help us to create good jobs while making it easier for our people
to get the nourishment they need and then get on with their day. Think of the
good things you can do with all that time you’ll save.”

ReplyDeleteThank you for the dark chuckle!
ReplyDeleteyou're most welcome Chris
DeleteI have heard that cows chew their cud slowly and deliberately while relaxing on a pasture (studies have shown that the incidence of ulcers & stomach cancer is lower if cows chew their cud on native prairie). Maybe Sask. Government could invest $4 Million in knowledge transfer so we can all benefit.
ReplyDeleteYou know I think you might be onto something there, Branimir. Cows are the original artisinal masticators, doing the hard work for us with all that chewing, turning grass into protein that humans can use...a couple million spent to support sustainable grazing of native grassland might be a good investment!
