Alberta town to ship Kraft Dinner to troops
Mayor Lloyd Bertschi was talking with a friend from the Edmonton Garrison about life in Afghanistan, where more than 2,000 Canadians are stationed, when the comforts of home came up.

First came peace, quiet and family, he said, but not far behind was a surprising Canadian staple: Kraft Dinner.

“As you can imagine, the rations that they have over there are probably less than spectacularly tasty, and I guess it’s just the taste, it’s kind of a remembrance of the kind of thing that they get at home that they don’t get when they’re there,” Bertschi said with a laugh.

Bertschi is mayor of Morinville, a town of about 7,200 just north of Edmonton. About 340 soldiers from the Edmonton Garrison live there, making up about five per cent of the population.
