How do you study when you can't afford to eat? Food prices have gone way up recently, along with other costs of living. It can be hard to find nutritious food that's also affordable, but at George Brown, we have a hidden treasure: the Good Food Market. In this episode, the GFM Coordinator, Torsten Hamelin, talks to Arantxa about the market, the universal right to food, more food-based programs available to students (including a free cooking group) and lots more!
