among all retailers. ' The question of advertising
Ms. Jackson said better arose, and Ms. Jackson said
she is not against some
advertising and promotion
because "they are certainly
good products.
"I'd rather see people
drinking milk and eating
yogurt than some other so-
called foods," said Ms. Jack-
son.
But Ms. Jackson is con-
cerned the money for adver-
tising comes out of the cost of
production and ends up being
paid for by consumers.
A dairy farmer said money
for advertising came off his
milk cheque. He didn't see
why consumers are complain-
ing if the farmers are paying
for the advertising.
The farmer said statistics
show butter consumption is
up since it has been promot-
ed. He added advertising
should have been done years
ago.
One farmer pointed out
that the milk adds have no
"subliminal sex" and are
promoting a "wholesome
product". Another farmer
said it is "normal business
practice" to advertise.
Ms. Jackson said she does
not find the cost-of-produc-
tion formula used by the
marketing bOards an entirely
fair method. She said the
formula is legislated federally
and boards have different
interpretations.
"I'm not sure we are all
that much to blame said
one farmer of the high cost of
food. He suggested the con-
sumer is getting "shafted"
by the high cost of food and
the farmers are being blame-
ed.
In her talk Ms. Jackson
cited accomplishments of the
Consumers' Association of
Canada. As example she said
the Consumers' Association
has spoken at Bell Cinada
hearings, energy export hear-
ings and others.
Ms. Jackson added she
would like to see consumer
representation on the market-
ing boards, something more
than a "token". She would
like to see a useful consumer
representative.
To the statement that food
prices have increased 13 per
cent every year for the past
three years, a farmer said
that fact was due partially to
imported foods.
