Triad City Beat This Week: May 27, 2015

The Greensboro-High Point metro area recently moved from No. 2 to No. 1 in food hardship in the United States, with Winston-Salem not faring much better. Everybody’s talking about the problem around here, but does anyone have a plan to tackle it? Triad City Beat Associate Editor Eric Ginsburg talked to dozens of activists, chefs, farmers, community volunteers and politicians and compiled a list of ideas for addressing food hardship for this week’s cover story.
