What is the test for feeding in a disability claim?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Jasper v. The Queen, 2003 CanLII 818 (TCC):

In reaching my conclusion I have reviewed in detail the comments made by Madam Justice Sharlow in Hamilton v. Canada, [2002] F.C.J. No. 422. In that case Madam Justice Sharlow said at page 3: The notion of feeding, in my view, also involves the ability to prepare a meal which conforms to a medically prescribed diet and medication which maintains one's state of health or prevents its deterioration. To limit the notion of feeding to the ability to eat a meal is to overlook the objective of the statute which, it bears repeating, is to financially assist those who, because of their disability, require assistance in fulfilling such a basic activity of daily living. To include the preparation of a reasonable meal in the notion of feeding is, on the contrary, fully consistent with such objective and the spirit of the disability credit.
