BALTIMORE STATE OF FOOD: What types do we eat; how to grow it, how to get it.
"Is it worth the waiting for?
If we live 'til eighty four
All we ever get is gru~el!
Ev'ry day we say our prayer --
Will they change the bill of fare?
Still we get the same old gru~el!
There is not a crust, not a crumb can we find,
Can we beg, can we borrow, or cadge,
But there's nothing to stop us from getting a thrill
When we all close our eyes and ima~gine"

HOW TO PROPERLY ADDRESS "FOOD DESERTS"
"Our research suggests the opposite narrative: Lower demand for healthy food is what causes the lack of supply.
Furthermore, local neighborhood conditions don’t matter much, since we regularly venture out of our neighborhoods. We
calculate that the average American travels 5.2 miles to shop. Low-income households are not that different: They travel 4.8
miles. Given that we are willing to travel that far, we tend to shop in supermarkets even if there is not one down the street.
We found that even people who live in ZIP codes without a supermarket buy 85 percent of their groceries from supermarkets.
Tax sugar, subsidize produce."

"This week, the Union of Concerned Scientists highlighted five such programs in five cities around the country. The new report,
“Fixing Food,” applauds Oakland, Memphis, Louisville, Baltimore, and Minneapolis for their efforts to decrease
food insecurity and increase healthy options. The programs focus on low-income communities and communities of color, which
are more likely to suffer from chronic and diet-related diseases, as well as hunger and food insecurity. All five cities have
a higher percentage of residents living below the federal poverty line than the national average of 15 percent.
The city approaches were chosen based on creativity, and because 'collectively, the five case studies show how local policies
and programs can tackle food systems from farm to fork.'"
