One in four residents of Baltimore lives in a "food desert," a stretch of low-income neighborhood with extremely limited sources of fresh, wholesome food. Holly Freishtat, director of the city's Food Policy Initiative, and Robert Thomas, who heads the city-run Baltimore Public Markets Corporation, join Tom to describe what Baltimore is doing to fill these critical gaps, and improve food options for all city residents.
