I think that's very plausible. One of the issues in Fort Chipewyan, which has maybe also driven the dependence on traditional foods, is that people cannot afford to shop at the local supermarket. I've heard several mentions of pop and chips being the staple diet. I'm afraid that's not true at all. Eighty-percent-plus of the community eats traditional foods, unfortunately, still, even given the advisory, because there's no alternative.
