The bace of the problem is that we don't eat our traditional foods. We have been talked out of it by mmodern nutrtionalists. I have been in dirt poor Latino communities that have thriving food stores! WHY?? Because no matter how poor these people are they ALWAYS eat their traditional foods and the people that sell them know they will always make money regardless of how much money the people have. I've seen thisover and over. Black people are ashmed of their traditional food.. So there! .

Keep on spreading the good knowledge. I was just in West Oakland with a friend, and there is definitely a need for a local grocery store.
