Re-posted from the Baltimore Ethical Society website:
In Baltimore, the food system comes up short for many city residents –
corner stores are common; supermarkets are scarce; diet-related diseases
are on the rise; and healthy, affordable foods can be hard to find. We
will discuss some of the factors that have led to this situation and
share examples of how local faith communities are working to bring about
a more just, healthy food system for those most in need.
