“23 million people live in low-income urban or rural areas that are more than a mile from a supermarket.”

So, there should be a supermarket every mile? That should be interesting.

And in “urban” areas, there’s probably a good reason for a lack of cash-laden businesses.

” ..23 million people live in low-income urban or rural areas that are more than a mile from a supermarket. “

Michelle and Company pathetically attempt to conflate rural and urban areas.
Rural areas don’t have as many markets because it’s a logistical and geographical situation.
Urban areas have trouble attracting big retailers and major supermarket chains because of high crime.

Just more redistribution of wealth.

On her way to the podium let her step on a scale that cameras are trained on and let the number be broadcast on a big screen behind her. Maybe then I will listen to her advice. Until then...

I’ve been trying to figure out exactly why they need $50K to start a Farmer’s Market at that High School. Doesn’t it have a parking lot? Advertise for farmers to come and sell on this date at that time; put out some inexpensive flyers and get the local radio and TV stations to do public service announcements, get the local paper to run a story. There you have your farmer’s market!

Farmer’s markets implies there are farmers nearby. Don’t be surprised if there aren’t any farmer’s markets for the inner city po’folk.
