We Are All Community Stores

Get consumers to ask their local stores to stock fresh healthy foods, or any product. Ask them to stock foods in a certain price range and delivery vehicle for lower income consumers. Most managers will try to comply if the request is viable, and not a complete waste of time. They want consumers to visit their store. The City can mount a public relations campaign that everybody needs to have access to healthy food. Wealthy consumers will consider to withdraw their custom if the stores do not behave in a community oriented manner. They need to be public-spirited. I think that, if asked to stock specific items, most stores will stock them, if they consider that it is not a total loss-making and time-wasting exercise. anyway, it's worth a try. Draw up a list of healthy foods and in what form the food should be packaged. Try them. It's worth a try.
