We had a great event in Toronto last week hosted by celebrity chef Chuck Hughes where we announced some big news about the next chapter of the Hellmann’s Real Food Movement: Hellmann’s ½ the Fat is now made with 100% free run eggs, and we’re phasing out certain in favour of ingredients derived from natural sources. Take a look at some photos and videos of the event here.

Be sure to check back to the Real Food Movement blog regularly for more updates and news.

After learning about Hellmann’s ingredient changes, our guests had the opportunity to cook with Chuck and enjoy a delicious meal. Our announcement sparked some interesting conversations about eating real – something we know Canadian families feel is important, but don’t do regularly. In fact, while more than 9 out of 10 Canadians (92%) say they prefer products made with real, natural ingredients, Canadians with kids under 18 are less likely to incorporate this into their daily lives. (Check out some more of our survey results here!)

You too can join the Real Food Movement and cook like Chuck. Try out some of his recipes, found here.

Take a look at a growing group of people who have decided to live fridge-free. These people shop at local markets and share a common goal to reduce one's "foodprint" on the earth.

Explore people's desire to eat local and control their own food supply. "Urban homesteading" is a growing trend by which people raise chickens on their property in order to eat fresh eggs daily. In many cases urban homesteaders risk fines from local law enforcement.

Discover a large group of people who are growing their own fruits and vegetables. These and other individuals also participate in CSA (Community Shared Agriculture) groups whereby a farmer sells a number of shares, and in turn delivers fresh fruits and vegetables to consumers each week.

Examine a growing group of people known as "Locavores". Locavores are passionate about eating locally, and care about where their food is grown. Supporting local growers, and reducing the energy and pollution to transport food are motivating factors.
