Everybody knows that healthy eating is important, but not many think about barriers associated with healthy eating. This course looks closely at the environment of Baltimore City’s complex food systems and what it would take to improve these systems to assure widespread access to affordable healthy foods. Students will gain hands-on experience through visiting a supermarket, a corner store and an emergency food distribution center. The in-class sessions are structured primarily as discussion seminars based around the readings and trips, supplemented with some lectures and guest lectures. Class sessions will engage students to think critically and will provide background and frameworks for understanding the field trips. All texts will be available on reserve or by handout, and all grades will be administered pass/fail. Prompt attendance and class participation are required.
