Q: Pat, Goodfood (TSE - FOOD)—I recently purchased their shares after trying their meal kits for several months. The dinner meal kits are pricey, but the quality of their ingredients is excellent. Recently, they launched their smoothies product line and after trying those (costs $5 per smoothie and they are excellent), I am convinced that this company is destined for success. I have not yet gone through their financials and their management discussion and analysis (MD&A). Still, I’d like to hear your thoughts.
