"It seems like everyone I know wants to be an expert on donuts. Everyone has a cousin or father with some insight, some theory, or some rant about the important place of the donut in Canadian life. In many places across Canada the donut is believed to be the unofficial national food, celebrated in song and story as a sort of ironic replacement for the dramatic national symbols found south of the 49th parallel."
Apparently Canadians really love Doughnuts. According to Wikipedia, they consume the most doughnuts per capita of any nation in the world. Beating out America at eating oily mounds of fat isn't some small feat, either.
Apparently the doughnut is enough of a national image it can be used to make urgent environmental pleas. Go figure.
