community food centers in Corvallis and Canada

Corvallis food activists are sharing ideas with their counterparts in Canada. Host Laura McCandlish interviews Elizabeth Fraser of The Stop, "an innovative anti-poverty and anti-hunger program" in Toronto. It’s a unique urban food bank/prenatal clinic/ open kitchen with ample community gardens.  We also hear from Rebecka Weinsteiger, who is working to plan a similar South Corvallis Community Food Center Project. Fraser particularly enjoyed Portland's food culture, since backyard chickens and food carts aren't allowed in Canada.
