Produce Truck In Detroit Promotes Healthy Eating
Filed in archive From Garden to Table , News on August 12, 2009
Detroit is a community served by 26 liquor stores and only one grocery store. To encourage healthy eating, a community group is peddling fresh produce (fruits and vegetables) like ice cream.
Five days a week, the Peaches & Greens truck winds its way through the streets as a loudspeaker plays R&B and puts out the call: "Nutritious, delicious. Brought right to you. We have green and red tomatoes, white and sweet potatoes. We have greens, corn on the cob and cabbage, too."
The truck set up like a small market brings affordable produce to families on public assistance, homebound seniors and others who can't reach the well-stocked grocery chains in the suburbs.
Isn't that really nice?! Read more.
