Food and Healthcare

We have universal healthcare in Canada and we’re very proud of it.  Our politicians brag about it all the time.  Why don’t we have a similar universal food program in Canada?  

If we had to pay for healthcare, the rich would get better care than the rest of us, right?  

The idea behind universal healthcare is that your monetary wealth shouldn’t determine your access to healthcare.  The poor deserve the best healthcare just as much as the rich.

Isn’t the same true of food?  Don’t the poor deserve the best food just as much as the rich?  Isn’t it obvious that the rich are healthier (at least in part) because they can afford far better food?  What about exercise clubs?
